Bradford City fire ‘was not an accident’: New book claims former chairman of club was linked to EIGHT other blazes before tragedy which killed 56 football fans in 1985 – with payouts worth £27million today
‘The former chairman of Bradford City was linked to eight other fires before the Valley Parade blaze that killed 56, a new book has claimed.
Author Martin Fletcher claims the devastating fire was not an accident and has revealed a sequence of other blazes at businesses owned by or associated with Stafford Heginbotham, the club’s chairman at the time.
After an inquiry, high court judge Mr Justice Popplewell said the fire was not started deliberately and was caused by a discarded cigarette.
West Yorkshire police today said in a statement that they would review any fresh evidence surrounding the tragedy.’
