A man has been left 'heartbroken' after his massive Bristol City memorabilia collection was destroyed in a fire. Ben Grice kept thousands of Robins items in an outhouse in his back garden, but in a fire on Wednesday, April 13, many of them were destroyed.
The 22-year-old said that the collection contained around 50,000 programmes which dated back to World War Two, shirts and tickets. But only around 500 of the programmes were rescued from the fire.
Ben told Bristol Live that he was at work when his dad called him to tell him the barn was ablaze. He rushed back to his house to find it had burned to the ground, and was devastated when he saw what had happened.
