FANS at a match last night paid tribute to the victims of the Bradford Fire Disaster on its 37th anniversary.
Stockport County fans held a minute’s applause in the 56th minute of their Vanarama National League clash with Torquay United to honour the victims of the tragedy at Valley Parade on May 11, 1985.
The gesture was arranged by Stockport fans on social media in the build-up to the game, which they won 1-0 at their home Edgeley Park ground.

Relatives of victims, dignitaries including the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Shabir Hussain and representatives from Bradford City also attended.
