Bradford City will pay tribute to record scorer and former Huddersfield Town striker Bobby Campbell at their home game against Northampton Town on Tuesday.

Northern Ireland international Campbell, who died last week aged 60, had two spells at Town and lived in Huddersfield.

But the best days of his career were at Bradford, where he also had two stints.

Campbell scored 143 goals in 320 appearances and won promotions with City in 1982 (from what is now League Two) and 1985 (from League One).

Bobby Campbell's funeral will take place on Thursday at St Peter’s Parish Church in Huddersfield.

Bradford City chief executive James Mason said: “We want people to not just watch the game but to pay respect in a match dedicated to Bobby's memory.”

He joined Town from Aston Villa in the summer of 1975, and in a two-season spell which was interrupted by a broken leg, scored 10 goals in 34 games.

After playing for Sheffield United and Vancouver Whitecaps, Campbell returned to Town in September 1978.

He netted three times in seven appearances before joining Halifax Town in October 1978.

Campbell also played for Brisbane City, Derby County and Wigan Athletic.

His funeral takes place on Thursday.
