Adelaide United midfielder Paul Reid missed out due to a thigh/quad injury as his side lost 2-0 at home to Melbourne Victory on Friday 18 September 2009 in round 7 of the A-League.
North Queensland Fury goalkeeper Paul Henderson and Wellington Phoenix custodian Mark Paston came up against each other as their team’s fought out a 1-1 draw on Sunday 20 September 2009.
Both former Bantams played full games for their respective sides.
Former Bradford City midfielder Kyle Nix, who now plays for non-league Mansfield Town, played a full game for England ‘C’ in a 1-1 draw in Hungary.
Adelaide United midfielder Paul Reid played a full game as his side defeated Central Coast Mariners 1-0 on Friday 11 September 2009 in round 6 of the A-League.
Reid picked up a 29th-minute booking at Hindmarsh Stadium.
North Queensland Fury goalkeeper Paul Henderson also played a full game, and also saw yellow as his side won 1-0 at Sydney FC on Saturday 12 September 2009.
Henderson was booked after 25 minutes, but that will mean little to him as Robbie Fowler’s 54th-minute effort stunned the majority of the 16,699 in attendance at the Sydney Football Stadium.
Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Mark Paston wasn’t booked, but like both Reid and Henderson played a full game as his side earned a creditable 1-1 victory at Melbourne Victory on Sunday 13 September 2009.
We here at Antipodean Bantams HQ have never really been into collecting badges, but there has been one we have been after for some time.
So when we finally saw it come up for sale on eBay, we pounced.
Given the whole reason of doing this website is due to our links with Bradford City and Australia, a badge depicting a kangaroo wearing a Bradford City kit could have been made with us in mind.
The words say ‘Bradford City SC Australia’, which we are informed never actually existed and that the badge was made in England.
We don’t care. The same badge can be seen top left on the excellent Bradford City badges website.
Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Mark Paston was back in action in round 5 of the A-League, playing a full game as his side drew 1-1 with Adelaide United on Friday 4 September 2009.
For Adelaide, midfielder Paul Reid also played a full game at Westpac Stadium but neither men were able to inspire their side to victory.
Both players would have been feeling happier than North Queensland Fury goalkeeper Paul Henderson however, as he was dropped to the bench for his side’s 1-1 draw with Brisbane Roar on Saturday 5 September 2009.
