Bradford City Key's early goals were recalled after the Point's strike

The Lowmoor native has been writing his name in Bantam folktale for several years, but his goal of opening a goal after just 12 seconds against the crew in front of more than 22,000 fans in the Valley Parade was truly special.

But even more importantly, City took the lead in League 2 on its way to a 2-0 victory, with only five games left of the season.

And while none of these can compete with Point's speed of strikes at all, here are some of the more memorable and important early goals in the city of Bradford history.

Perhaps the biggest goal ever scored for the Bantamus is to score so far, given that they secured the only major trophy in their history.

Just eight years after the formation, City arrived at Crystal Palace for the FA Cup final, but faced the difficult task of defeating Holder and three league winners over the past six years. Newcastle United.

However, after an ugly 0-0 draw in London, the Jimmy Spairs resolved a replay at Old Trafford, leaving only 15 minutes away, struggling with a defensive mistake that beat Jimmy Lawrence on a Newcastle goal.

The FA Cup, made in Bradford by Fatorini & Sons, was heading home.

Chris Kamala's bantam was on the way to pinch the final playoff spot on the final day of the season, and was well visible from the pace of the promotion before seeing a run of form later in the season with a 3-2 victory at Hull.

However, City's race was being run when Blackpool won 2-0 in the valley parade in the first round of the Ra semi-finals.

De Hamilton, Carl Shatt and Mark Stallard scored goals and sent them to Wembley, and given the scale of their comeback, it would have been a shame to cry if Bantam had blown it off on display.

But they didn't have Hamilton's goal after sending them halfway through in just eight minutes against Notts County.

Starard then added a late clincher to bring Bantamus back to the second tier for the first time since 1990.

After finishing second in the first division behind Sunderland, Bantam was promoted to Top Flight in 1999 after absent in 77 years.

Few people gave them much survival potential, but wise older heads like Peter Beagley, Stuart McCall and Dean Sanders helped keep them on the hunt.

David Weather also joined the Bantamus in the summer of 1999 after playing for Leeds in the 201 Premier League, making him an ideal center half.

The city's work heading for the final day was a challenge, knowing they would have to beat the Champions League, chasing Liverpool to ensure their survival.

However, wetherall's towering header from Gunnar Halle's cross turned out to be sufficient just 12 minutes later, as Bantamus won 1-0 in the valley parade and violated all expectations in the process.

GARRY THOMPSON – Bradford City 1 Arsenal 1 (2012/13 League Cup Quarterfinals)

Arsenal's Trophy Fillat, a consecutive winner at the helm of Arsene Wenger's first eight years, was becoming a national buzz by the winter of 2012.

They've won nothing at all since beating Manchester United in the 2005 FA Cup final, but were they basically guaranteed to be the final four of the 2012/13 League Cup?

What's wrong is that the Bantamus undoubtedly pulled out the biggest upset in the history of competition, so League 2 knocked out a Champions League regular on a crazy night at the volleyball parade.

Garry Thompson thundered a stunning backpost volley to put the city in front of just 16 minutes later.

However, Phil Parkinson's side led the mighty gunner to penalty, and it was Barmelen who went from hero to villain, missing out on a definitive spot kick and sending the paranoid host to the semi-finals.

Bantam couldn't believe the League Cup final after seeing Aston Villa after Arsenal, but Swansea proved he was just too far ahead.

It was a much happier experience under the Arch three months later, as City drove Northampton away in the League 2 playoff final.

The game was within 30 minutes, with James Hanson opening up a score on the header just 15 minutes later.

Rory McArdle added another goal shortly afterwards. Naki Wells then burned the house from close range for 28 minutes, putting Bantamus on Easy Street and into League One.
