Geoff Bradford

Geoffrey Reginald William Bradford (18 July 1927 – 30 December 1994) was an English professional footballer who spent his entire career at Bristol Rovers and won one international cap for England.

Bradford was discovered by Rovers at the age of 18, playing for local side Soundwell,[1] and made his debut in a Football League Third Division South game against Crystal Palace on 24 September 1949.

He lined up alongside such greats as Billy Wright, Jackie Milburn, Nat Lofthouse and Tom Finney in a friendly match against Denmark in Copenhagen and scored the fifth goal in a 5–1 victory.

He also played in every outfield position for the club,[5] and remains the only player to represent England while on the books of Bristol Rovers.

He continued to live in Bristol for the rest of his life, working as a petrol tanker driver after his retirement from the game in 1964.
