A CITY fan is once again on the quest to raise funds for the Bradford Burns Unit by releasing another clothing line remembering the 56 people who sadly lost their life in the Valley Parade fire.
Back in 2015, with the help of Chris Robinson at the Embroidery House on Clayton Heights, Jamie Boyle created t-shirts and hoodies for the 30 year anniversary of May 11, 1985.
The idea was brilliantly received and supporters of every club around the world bought into it leading to Jamie raising over £10,000 for the unit.
That design focused on the significance of the date, while this new version has the 'always remembered 56' along with the year the fire tragically happened.
After being backed first time out by Bantams great Bobby Campbell, another legend in Peter Jackson, who was captain at that truly terrible time, has shown his support.

Jamie would have been at Valley Parade on the day of the fire, had his father not been at work.
He said: "The aim is to raise as much money as possible, hopefully from £1000 to £5000. We have done 100 sales in a week which is pretty good going.
"It was a great feeling when we raised so much for the Bradford Burns Unit last time.
"Because the anniversary will come around every year we thought we might as well just do one which is an all-rounder. You can wear this one anytime of the year, every year.
"The 56 people, who lost their lives in the Bradford City fire, mean a lot to the community. I am 43 now, but the day will forever stick in my head.
"It is one of those things where for that day every year you just stop, I am getting choked up just talking about it."
Prices for the items are as follows; T-shirts; Adult £10, Kids £8, Hoodies; Adult £22, Kids £16.
