Bradford temporary boss Peter Jackson made his debut at Edgar Street.
Back in March 1979 the then 17 year old started his first game for the Bantams in their 3-1 loss at Edgar Street to Mike Bailey's Bulls. In the home side that day was newly appointed Head of Youth John Layton - who scored the second goal - as well as Edgar Street stalwarts Tommy Hughes, Steve Emery, and Chris Price.
Jackson played 391 times for Bradford, and rejoined his hometown club as manager two months ago. In twelve games so far he has collected four wins, but doesn't know if he will be in charge after the final two games of the season. He told the Telegraph and Argus: “My main aim was to keep the club safe and I’ve almost done that. I don’t know what happens after the last game.
"As far as I’m concerned, I’m just here week by week. I haven’t signed any agreement with the club. But I’m sure they will decide soon. They need to for everybody’s future so we can look forward. There are 11 or 12 players out of contract and I need permission from the board to go ahead and do the retained list. Decisions have to be made on and off the field."
Jackson will face the Bulls again without influential midfielder Mike Flynn after he damaged a hamstring on Monday. Loanees Tom Adeyemi and Kevin Ellison are also doubtful with thigh problems, although Jon Worthington is expected to be fit after damaging a foot against Aldershot. The midfielder, like the Bulls' Rob Purdie, was released by Oldham in January and signed a deal with the Bantams until the end of the season.
