A one-club, local man from Bristol’s St. Philip’s Marsh, the unflappable Harry became an Eastville hero, respected throughout all levels of football for his sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct. At the heart of the team which came within a whisker of promotion to the First Division, was their cultured, ball-playing, attacking right-back Harry Bamford. Harry Bamford: Bristol Rovers’ First Gentleman of Football, for the first time tells Harry’s remarkable story, from his early years in the Marsh and his wartime service in the Far East, to his development under Bert Tann into one of the best full-backs never to win a full England international cap.

Moreover, his sportsmanship was exemplary, and he was often referred to as "the first gentleman of soccer". Sir Stanley Matthews - the first professional footballer to be knighted - was the most renowned player of modern times. Reflecting his reputation for fair play, Matthews did not receive a single booking during his long career.
