Welcome

Hello there, my name is Michael "Braddy" Bradshaw and I am the director of Sporting Image Ltd. Here's a little insight into how I got to where I am today, running my own sports memorabilia company.

My epic journey started in 1996 whilst playing rugby league for my local club Waterhead ARLFC. I was asked if I would like to be the Oldham Bears official club mascot, Buster Bear for a Super League match against Sheffield Eagles. Being a bit of a character I accepted the offer and have never EVER looked back!!

I have since gone on to work for the following professional sports clubs as their official club mascot:

• Oldham Roughyeds (Red Ed the Roughyed)
• Castleford Tigers (Tiger Man)
• Leeds Rhinos (Ronnie Rhino)
• Newcastle Falcons (Flash the Falcon)
• Sale Sharks (Sharky)
• Leeds Tykes (Terry the Tyke)
• Wrexham FC (Wrex The Dragon)
• Yorks CC (Scorch the Dragon and Max the Miner)
• Bradford Bulls (Bullboy)
• Burnley FC (Bertie Bee)
• The GB Rugby League mascot (The Mane Man).

I have graced Wembley, Murrayfield, the Millenium Stadium and many club grounds around the country in various sports. collecting memorabilia and making lots of friends in England and overseas along the way, many of them top sportstars!

After years of collecting memorabilia I decided to use my knowledge and contacts in sport and set up my own company and that's when I finally arrived at my destination with Sporting Image Ltd.

Hope you enjoy my website.

Yours in sport,

Mick "Braddy" Bradshaw
