The veteran frontman helped himself to a double at Valley Parade and in the process reached 100 Football League goals as City bounced back from a crushing defeat at Notts County.
His first after three minutes flew in from 30 yards and had Graham Alexander and Darren Moore raving about its quality.
Bradford boss Alexander said: "It's something we encourage all the time. Goals like that stay in the memory for everyone for years. It won't just be Cooky thinking about it, the fans will and I will.
"I enjoyed it. That's what you want to come to football matches for to see things like that and it was unbelievable."
Opposite number Moore said: "That's a wonderful goal to score at any level whether it's the Premier League or any division. He took it early and it's an individual, bit of brilliance that knocked us back.
