Manningham FC

Manningham FC

Manningham were an English rugby league football club based in Manningham, Bradford. They're notable for being the first ever champions of the Rugby Football League (then known as the Northern Rugby Football Union) in its first ever season.

.

The following season the Northern Union's championship was split into two separate country competitions with Manningham competing in the Yorkshire division. The club performed strongly again and almost won the Yorkshire Cup but in the end fell short on the table by just one win.

On 30 January 1903, Scotsman James Whyte, a sub-editor of the "Bradford Observer" met with Football Association representative John Brunt at Valley Parade, the home of Manningham Football Club, to discuss establishing a Football League club within the city. A series of meetings was held, and on 29 May 1903, at the 23rd annual meeting of Manningham FC, the committee decided to leave the rugby league code and switch to association football, becoming Bradford City A.F.C..
