- Geoffrey Richmond
Geoffrey Richmond was chairman of Bradford City from 1994 to 2002, and previously chairman of Scarborough.
He was at Bradford during their most successful times, when they were promoted to the Premiership in the 1998–99 season. He left after the club was relegated in 2001 and went into administration in 2002, having lost the confidence of the fans.cite news| last =| first = | coauthors = | title =Bradford to play on | work = | pages = | language = | publisher =BBC Sport | date =
