How Burnley lined up the last time they faced Bradford City 22 years ago How Burnley lined up the last time they faced Bradford Monday’s cup draw pitted Burnley against Bradford City, a side they haven’t faced in over 22 years. Nicky Hayen’s side will take on League One opposition for the second round running, having got their season underway with a penalty shootout victory over Notts County on Saturday. Up next is a trip to Valley Parade to face a Bantams side managed by former Claret Graham Alexander, who eased past Rochdale 2-0 in their first round tie. The last time the two sides faced one another was back in March 2004, when Burnley emerged 2-1 winners in a Championship encounter at Valley Parade. Ian Moore struck the winning goal in the last minute, after Danny Cadamateri had cancelled out Robbie Blake’s early effort. Burnley, who finished 19th that season under Stan Ternent, actually did the double over the Bantams that term, having strolled to a 4-0 win at Turf Moor earlier in the campaign.
