Name: Billy Bantam
Date of birth: 1st August 1903
How did you get involved with the Community Foundation ? As one of Bradford City FC’s two mascots I was only too happy to get involved with the Community Foundation. Seeing & meeting the children in schools and at coaching camps helps me to feel good from the tip of my beak to the very last tail feather.
How long have you worked for the Foundation ? 12 years
Why did you choose this as a job ? Despite the great work done by the coaches, the Foundation needed something that the children would like and get enthusiastic about. That’s now my job ! I’m the official goalkeeper at all Community Foundation penalty shootouts. My stats speak for themselves ! Goals scored - 0, Goals conceded - 13,489, Clean sheets - 0
Favourite band/singer ? Dixie Chicks, The Byrds, Chickenfoot & Rooster
Favourite footballer ? Chickarito
Hobby away from football ? I like to scratch around in my back yard where I practice strutting my stuff & playing tricks on the local neighbourhood pigeons.
What healthy tip can you give to an aspiring footballer ? It’s about the right food. Grains are important in any healthy diet.
