Bernard Halford

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Wasnt a big fan and had a few run ins with him when secretsry of the Centenary Supporters Association.
Always hoped he would do a book - warts and all - but assuned he would be incriminating himself with the dodgy dealings of PJS if he did.... Is there anyone left from the Swales era?

No doubting his love of the club and a sad day for the club. RIP

God & St Peter will be scratching their heads trying to work out why Heaven is jam-packed when Peter Swales & Bernard have assured them there’s only 350 in there.

You`re going straight to hell for that Colin. ;)

Only heard good things about him and how thoughtful he was, especially with a lady I know, who didn’t know who he was, but he talked to her about city, and sorted out tickets for her boys without letting on about his connections to the club. Will be greatly missed. Hoping he can pull a few strings up there for our remaining games! RIP x

R.I.P Bernard

I remember as a 9 year old kid in 1979 writing to City asking for players autographs, I sent an autograph book and a stamped addressed envelope for it's return.

Most of the players signed my book and Bernard signed it three separate times!!!

 

[york away to this!]

Sad news. Never met him but was always a big name throughout the thread of my city existence...

Sad day indeed. He had his critics as a few have said but no doubt he loved the club. Many older fans will feel this, as great as the recent success is we love the fact that the club still retains strong roots to our not so illustrious past. Every time one of the old guard dies a part of us dies too.

 

[Academica]

Knew his son Carl when I was younger, remember him being on city's books for a short time in the seventies, can't remember if he ever made a first team appearance.

RIP Bernard

Condolences to the family, a great servant to the club and although some older folks may not like him for his part with Swales I doubt anyone that ever met him woukd doubt his loyalty.
