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.
