We're definitely not the worst in the league

Bradford City have had to bin thousands of copies of the xmas calendar as it had Dele Adebola on the front... wearing a Hull City Shirt!

I wonder if the person who did this will see the funny side of it whilst queuing down the job centre!

I've heard it wasn't actually their admin departments fault. There was a different company responsible for making the calendars, Bradford just supplied the pictures. In the picture in question, Bradford were playing in pink in a pre-season friendly, and the company cropped the picture to just leave the player in the amber striped kit, and cut out the player in pink - which as it turned out was no other than Guy Branston.

BRANNO?

But this was the image for the front cover! What better way to guarantee selling ZERO calendars than to put his ugly mug on the front sheet (apart from a picture of Troj in his combat shorts and green pants combo).

See bottom right. Funny mistake, but you can see how it happened when the company cropping the images weren't Bradford themselves, the kits are pretty similar.
