Unsung Hero



Unsung Hero Award 2024/25

The Bradford City Supporters Board are proud to be associated with the awarding of the Unsung Hero of the Year at the annual Bradford City End of Season Dinner. Over the years there have been some really deserving winners of this award and we are sure this years award will be no different.


As part of our move as a Supporters Board to increase involvement from our fellow fans, this year we are looking for nominations from the whole fan base as to who the winner of this years Bradford City Unsung Hero should be.


Historically the winners of this award have either been employed by the Club or have volunteered their time to support the day to day running and matchdays, but we are also open to people nominating fellow fans if they feel they meet the criteria of being a Bradford City Unsung Hero.


We will be looking at judging the nominations against the below criteria:

  • Goes the extra mile to help
  • Committed to carrying out their role to a very high standard
  • Consistent dedication and hard work, even when no one is watching


To submit a nomination please use the link below, and please remember to add as much detail into your nomination as you can as that will help our judging panel decide on this years winner.

Once the award has been decided we are also going to upload some of the nominations onto this page so even if the person you have nominated is unsuccessful, we are will be sharing with the wider fan base the fact that someone took the time to nominate them and the reasons why.

The winner of the Unsung Hero Award for 2022/23 was:

Robert Cranmer

Bradford City Mental Health Lead


Robert received over a third of the total nominations and some of the reasons the people gave were very moving.


Focus and support for Mental Health has been becoming more prominent in recent years as our society moves towards reducing the historical stigmas and misperceptions in needing support. Whilst not going through word for word the various nominations our winner has received in this speech the fact that one of the nominations stated that they would not be here without the support he has received from our winner.


We know from speaking to the winner recently that amount of hours and effort he puts into his work with the club alongside a busy full time job. Hopefully this win will help give him the recognition he deserves and also help publicise the work he does to see if anyone else can volunteer to help this vital service.
