The hidden sporting history of Bradford will be brought to life in a guided walk around the city centre on Saturday, April 20.

Staged as part of the first Bantams’ History week, the walk will follow part of the route taken by Bradford City’s victorious team when they returned in triumph with the FA Cup in 1911.

Locations will include Bradford jewellers Fattorini’s, which designed the current FA Cup; the hotel where City’s players celebrated their cup triumph; the wool warehouse which was the business of Bradford City’s chairman during the Great War; a sports outfitters owned by a Bradford rugby international in the days when players were supposed to be strictly amateur; and the premises where millions of football collectors cards were manufactured.

Walkers are requested to meet downstairs in the Turls Green pub in Centenary Square at 10am for 10.30am.

There will be a halt for refreshments at the Midland Hotel and the walk will end at the Sparrow Bier Cafe on North Parade in time for the official launch of the Bantams’ History Week at noon.

The walk will be led by the Bantamspast museum curator David Pendleton and Glyn Watkins, poet, writer and leader of the recent walk celebrating Bradford’s patron Saint Bishop Blaise.

The walk is free but a donation to the Bradford Burns Unit would be appreciated.
