BRADFORD City have paid tribute to a season ticket holder for more than half a century who died after leaving their match on Boxing Day.
Lifelong fan John Lambert passed away following City's game with Morecambe on Tuesday.
Supporters came together to express their condolences as the Bantams hosted Stockport County last night.
A picture of Mr Lambert, who held a season ticket in the main stand from 1959, was shown on the big screen.
A message read: "The thoughts of all at City are with John's family and friends."
Former Bradford City chief operating officer James Mason posted this on X.
He said: "A class act tonight from @officialbantams
