A GROUP of fans from the team Bradford City faced on the day of the fire disaster are raising funds for the city's burns unit.

Vital Lincoln City, a group representing the football club, are aiming to raise £1,000 for the Bradford Burns Unit.

The University of Bradford's Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit (PSBRU) was set up after the Bradford City Fire Disaster at Valley Parade on May 11, 1985, which cost 56 lives and left about 265 more injured.

 

Bradford City were playing Lincoln City on the day of the disaster.

Professor Ajay Mahajan, consultant plastic surgeon and director of research at PSBRU, thanked Vital Lincoln City for their fundraising.
