In 1903 Bradford City became the only club ever accepted into the Football League without ever playing soccer. They had begun as Manningham and were the first Northern Union champions but decided to depart for the greener grass of soccer. Four years later, local rivals Bradford followed suit, but many fans rebelled and formed what would become today's Bradford Bulls.
This episode looks at the events that led to Bradford's Great Split, how it sparked the creation of what would become Leeds United, and examines how soccer exploited the difficulties faced by rugby league clubs in the decade after rugby broke in two in 1895.
