History Fairbank United was formed in 1996 by Mark Rogers, a local resident, who was impressed by the pool of local footballing talent on his doorstep. Mark enlisted the help of the local youngsters and formed a team late in the summer of 1996. Having missed the deadline to enter a league the team embarked on a series of friendlies over the year before making their league debut in the Bradford Sunday Alliance Division 4 on the 7th of September. The open aged team lasted one season. At the same time an under 12's team was formed under the tutilage of Shazad Bashir. Making their debut season in the Craven, Aire and Wharfedale League in 1998 Shazad took on this talented bunch of youngsters right through to the under 18's league in the 2002-2003 season when he decided to take some time out to gain his own professional qualifications. The club was relaunched in 2006 by Shazad and Akif Waseem and since it's humble beginings have gone from strength to strength. Fairbank lifted the Arthur Croft T&A League Trophy in the 2008-09 season, and the under 16's Craven, Aire and Wharefdale Under 16's League in the 2009-10 season. The club now boasts 2 FA Level 2 coaches, and 6 FA Level 1 coaches, with three junior teams at the Under 10, 12 and 18 age range and one open aged team
