I am pleased to announce that my next book on the history of Bradford City is released in September, 2026.
The Bantams of Valley Parade, A History of Bradford City AFC is published by Amberley and covers the history of the club from its rugby origins in 1880 through to the modern day.
Twenty-five years after relegation from the Premier League and the subsequent financial implosion, the book covers the modern era in detail and includes a fresh assessment of the Richmond era. It also incorporates my research from the last ten years with a lot of fresh content about the early history of the club and key personalities to provide a new perspective.
Further information about the release will be provided on this blog and through Twitter (@jpdewhirst). You can join the mailing list by contacting me by DM on Twitter or by email – books at bantamspast dot net.
