4. Gary Walsh Gary Joined City in October 1997 from Middlesbrough for around £500,000. Gary won the Clubs Player of the Year award in his first season and was soon established as Number 1. He played a pivotal role in City’s promotion to the premiership in 1999 and was a regular as they began their top flight campaign. Gary is well known for a horror mistake against Manchester United with the score at 0-0 gifting Teddy Sherringham with a sitter and subsequently giving away the match. Fortunately Gary made very few errors during his time at the club. Next Appearances 133 Main Menu

13. Dean Windass Main Menu Deano is the Clubs third highest scorer of all time with 76 goals in two Spells which included 16 whilst in the Premiership. Dean joined for £950,000 from Oxford in 1999 and returned in 2003 after spells with Middlesbrough and Sheffield United. Windass was a fans favourite for his on field antics and ability to wind up the opposition and their fans most weeks but his goals were of a greater importance as City tried to halt their slide down the divisions. Dean left to join hometown club Hull City in 2007. Next

16. Robbie Blake Main Menu Robbie Blake formed an unrelenting partnership with Lee Mills as City were promoted to the premiership. His 20 goals and excellent link up play were one of the main factors in Paul Jewell's side. He was constantly linked to moves to premiership clubs but remained with City until they were relegated and joined Burnley.

17. Paul Jewell Main Menu Paul Jewell became manager in 1998 succeeding Chris Kamara and took City to the premier league with promotion in his first full season in charge. Paul had played for the club for ten years also and his success as a manager continued as against all odds he kept them in the premiership. Next

18. Julian Rhodes Main Menu Julian Rhodes is the saviour of Bradford City. He has been the backbone of the club since the nineties and as Geoffrey Richmond led the assault on the premiership Rhodes and his family were the real backers with the finances to progress the club and then in recent years save the club from going out of business. He is now joint chairman along with Mark Lawn and his business acumen is again taking the club forward.
