Bradford City faced a dire situation in February 2004 when the club entered administration, threatening its very existence. In a remarkable act of generosity, renowned artist David Hockney stepped in to help the Bantams during this critical time. Twenty-two years ago this month, Hockney made a substantial donation to support the club amid the 'Save Our City Appeal' campaign initiated by the Telegraph & Argus. His contribution was vital in keeping the 101-year-old club afloat during a period of uncertainty. Hockney's nephew, a devoted Bradford City supporter, alerted him to the club's plight, prompting this significant gesture. Although the exact amount of his donation remains confidential, it undoubtedly played a crucial role in ensuring Bradford City's survival. Today, the club is in a much better place, a testament to the impact of Hockney's support during those challenging times.
