When Bradford City met Lincoln City in May 1985 for the final game of the season, what everyone remembers is the carnival atmosphere. Not so long before, Bradford had been teetering on the edge of ruin. Now, after one of their best seasons ever, promotion was in the bag. But what happened at the end of a goal-less first half was the stuff of nightmares, and one of the worst disasters in footballing history.
