During the 1999–2000 English football season, Bradford City competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

David Wetherall's goal on the final day of the season gave Bradford City a surprise 1-0 victory over Liverpool, which secured survival and kept them in the top division that the Bantams had spent 77 years trying to regain.[1] Paul Jewell then walked out at Valley Parade to take over at relegated Sheffield Wednesday, leaving his assistant Chris Hutchings to pick up the pieces.[2][3]
