In 2012, Bradford City FC was a football club in the doldrums. The former Premier League side, much like the city itself, had been in decline - dropping three divisions in 12 seasons. The team were fighting for promotion to League One and were also have a decent run in the League Cup, winning the first three games of the competition. But when they came up against Premier League side Wigan in the fourth round everyone, maybe even the players themselves, assumed the dream was now over. Premier League giants Arsenal were pulled out of the hat for the next round with the home tie set for December 11.
