Which player, then with Bradford Park Avenue, did we try to buy in the mid-1960s? Instead he went to a rival Division Two team, with whom he won the Division One title twice, played in the European Cup (reaching the semi-final) and was capped twice for England.As a follow-up, name another Yorkshire ground (excluding Hull''s Boothferry Park), no longer used for League football, at which we played within the last 50 years.

Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted October 13, 2014 Got the player. The back of his Topps card in 1977 was the only one that featured the exotic team name of Bradford PA.Didn''t know we tried to sign him.How much more successful would we have been with his goals?! As for the club, I have a couple of guesses but I don''t know if we played at either. Both start with the same letter and both have the same suffix. I''m going for the one that currently has a connection with a well-known brand of beer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
