The Bantams were winless in four games and struggling to score goals, so when Paul Anderson broke his leg the SOS call went out. Kyel ReidвЂ™s second debut for Bradford City was an exhilarating affair.

It was one of the best goals Valley Parade has ever seen. The wonder goal proved enough to earn McCall his first victory as Bradford City manager вЂ“ and a first Bantams home success in more than nine months. The ball flew past Wrexham stopper Andy Williams and into the corner of the net. The touch, the power and the accuracy was spot on. Kyle Nix had sent him away down the left hand channel, and with no one in the box to find, Medley elected to volley it towards goal.

It was the former Spurs traineeвЂ™s first ever game of senior professional football, and his very first touch was something special. By the 78th minute, his name was on everybodyвЂ™s lips. 3) Luke MedleyД§6 minutes into a hard-fought encounter with Wrexham вЂ“ the game tied at 1-1 вЂ“ the relatively unknown Luke Medley was thrown into the action by Stuart McCall. His career wasnвЂ™t to prove anywhere near as successful, butВ ForrestвЂ™s Roy of the Rovers-style debut was one of the best moments of a challenging period in the clubвЂ™s history. The friends he regularly sat with were even in their usual seats that day, no doubt in disbelief.ДЄ fewВ weeks later Forrest scored a wonder goal and for a brief moment earned comparisons to an emerging Everton striker named Wayne Rooney. In front of the Kop where he had grown up watching the same Bradford City heroes as the rest of us, Forrest was living the ultimate dream. The look of joy on ForrestвЂ™s face was more memorable than the close range finish. So he turned to 18-year-old Danny Forrest, who made the most of the unexpected opportunity by netting CityвЂ™s second goal in a surprise 2-0 win. But on the eve of the match, Littlejohn changed his mind. Law thought heвЂ™d found the solution by bringing in out of contract Adrian Littlejohn to play one game, against Ipswich, for ВЈ350. None more so than in February, where injuries and suspensions left him with only one senior striker, Ashley Ward. A thinbare squad was continually stretched to breaking point. With high earners running their contracts down and budgets slashed, manager Nicky Law had to hunt in bargain bins for players to make up numbers. The first season after Administration One was incredibly difficult for the club. Vs Ipswich Town, Division One, February 2003 Collymore didnвЂ™t do much else in a Bradford City shirt, but will always be loved for this moment of inspiration. Collymore marched up to the away fans who had been goading him from kick off and gestured to them 1-0.ДЄ stunning debut goal, against your new teamвЂ™s biggest rivals, and upsetting the opposition fans вЂ“ it doesnвЂ™t get more memorable than this. The blew flew past Leeds keeper Paul Robinson to spark joyous scenes. A local derby with Leeds United, live on Sky, was anything but a low key start.Д«ut any misgivings City fans held towards Stan were put to one side in the 21stВ minute, when Collymore connected to Benito CarboneвЂ™s high hanging cross andВ produced a spectacular bicycle kick. It sparked huge headlines and plenty of derision aimed at the club and player. A career of such potential had gone wayward over recent years, with on and off the field problems turning him into an unwanted tabloid star.Д¬ollymore was signed by Geoffrey Richmond вЂ“ rather than manager Chris Hutchings вЂ“ as panic had set in over CityвЂ™s dreadful start to the season. Having been sacked by Leicester for fighting Trevor Benjamin in the middle of a reserve team game, Stan CollymoreвЂ™s arrival at Valley Parade saw him enter the last, last chance saloon.
