Stephen Darby appreciation evening! Tuesday 30/10/2018

This crosses the current City stuff and also the 'where are they now' subject matter. I guess more members read this section, hence the choice of posting it here.

Apparently it is an evening which includes, 'A range of well-known personalities with deep connections to the club have agreed to attend as part of a Q&A session, where they will reflect on their best memories of Bradford City, and underline what the club means to them. And we’ll celebrate the career of Stephen Darby with stories from his former team mates'. https://widthofapost.com/2018/10/03/who-we-are-special-night-to-celebrate-bradford-city-and-stephen-darby/
