BRADFORD City received support during their match today from their most famous fan.

Popstar Zayn Malik, who was born in Bradford, gave his advice on how Gary Bowyer's Bantams could kill off their Sky Bet League Two clash against Mansfield Town at Valley Parade. Sadly for Zayn, his favourite player didn't come on but City went on to win 2-0. 

He tweeted at the start of the second half when City were 1-0 up, urging them to bring on winger Zeli Ismail from the substitutes' bench to secure the three points.

Zayn tweeted: "Ps. C’mon bradford, bring ismail on. finish it off."

The tweet proved popular with his fans, who gave more than 5,000 replies within five minutes of the former One Direction singer posting.
