Geoff Bradford, Paperback / softback Book

Geoff Bradford Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Bristol Rovers' most famous player is undoubtedly Geoff Bradford.

He holds the club record for goals scored (242 in 461 Football League appearances) and remains the only player to win a Full England International cap while with the club.

To research this book, the authors have been given access to an archive of information and original photographs from his family.

Bristol-born Geoff was a loyal one-club man having turned down the option of a transfer to First Division Liverpool.

He suffered two very severe career-threatening knee injuries and returned to play football for his club, who rewarded him with a Testimonial match at the end of his fifteenth season.

Besides representing England, he also won other honours for Rovers winning the Third Division (South) Championship in 1952/53 and also played in many representative matches for the English Football Association including a six-week tour to the West Indies in 1955.

There has never been a biography of Bradford, so this will be a welcome title for all dedicated Rovers fans.
