A BRADFORD City legend has been immortalised in a life-size stencil next to a bar as part of a project.
An image of Ces Podd has gone up next to the front door of the Record Café on North Parade as part of a project celebrating Bradford icons.
Podd made a club record 565 appearances for City in all competitions between 1970 and 1984.

Keith Wildman, owner of the Record Café, said: “You see lots of things like this in other cities like Manchester or Leeds, so it’s really nice that Bradford is being recognised in this way too.
“We should be shouting about the good things in Bradford more. I hope it brings a smile to people’s faces.
“Ces Podd was an important player for Bradford City.
“If I get a picture of Ces Podd near my bar, I’m not going to complain.”
Other stencils have gone up around Bradford of ‘Polish Anna’, who was a familiar face to residents in the city between the 1960s and 1980s.
Barry Roots, who ran Roots Record Shop in Bradford and is a DJ and reggae musician, is also featured in an image for the project.
An image of the late NHS fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore is also set to go on display in his home town of Keighley as part of the project.
The images have been created by artist Stewy, who tweeted:
