A jigsaw of a graphic photograph of the devastating Bradford City fire which claimed 56 lives has been withdrawn from sale after outraged fans branded it "sick".

The item was being sold through an internet site, which is thought to have been acting as a vendor for a third-party company.

On Friday night outraged fans noticed the item for sale, and within 24 hours the offending item had removed it.

Club secretary Jon Pollard said the club was intending to determine who was actually selling the jigsaw - thought to be of a news picture showing the devastation of the blaze in 1985 - and would be speaking to the manufacturer about it this week.

Speaking to the Telegraph & Argus he said: "We are very disappointed that someone has tried to get commercial gain from such a disaster - it's ridiculous.

"We are glad it has been removed and we will take it up with the company this week.

"You cannot get commercial gain from something like that."

The fire in the main stand at Valley Parade claimed the lives of 56 people and injured another 300 when the tragedy struck just before half-time against Lincoln City on May 11, 1985.

City Supporters Trust chairman Alan Carling also said he was glad the jigsaw had been taken down from the website.

Talking with the Telegraph & Argus he said: "I think it is reprehensible that people should try to exploit the disaster either for commercial gain or sensationalism.

"When this has happened in the past we have managed to persuade the company to take down the offending items and I am glad the same thing has happened this time."
