Bradford City are known for one of the most recent cup upsets, beating Premier League side Chelsea at Stamford Bridge by 4 goals to 2 in 2015.
The Bantams reached the quarter-final stage of the FA Cup in that season, with Reading defeating them in that round 3-0 in a replay.
Jonny Bairstow is 6/4 to captain England in a test match in 2025
Cricketer Jonny Bairstow is Bradford born and is a key part of England's test match side.
One of the best batsmen that England have, the Yorkshireman also plays wicket keeper at times for his country.
With odds of 6/4, bookies feel there is a decent chance that in 3 years time Bairstow will captain England in a test match.
Ben Stokes is the current captain of the England Cricket team and he will likely be there or thereabouts during that period.
