On May 11, 1985, a devastating fire broke out at Valley Parade, the home stadium of Bradford City AFC, during a match against Lincoln City. The blaze, which was fueled by flammable materials in the wooden stand, resulted in the deaths of 56 people and injured over 200 others. It remains one of the worst disasters in British sports history, leading to significant changes in safety regulations at stadiums across the UK. The tragedy prompted a nationwide review of fire safety standards in public venues.
