Former Bradford Park Avenue half-back Gordon Bradley has died aged 74.

Bradley joined Avenue in January 1956 from Northern League side Stanley United after impressing in a trial match.

He made 18 league appearances scoring one goal before moving to Carlisle United in September 1957. He later had spells with Bristol Rovers and Hartlepool.

He became a well-known figure in the United States after becoming player-coach with New York Cosmos when they signed Pele and Franz Beckenbauer.

In 1996 his contributions to the sport earned him a place in the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
