Mrs. Turner stuck in the middle!
Hereford United manager Graham Turner has utilised an infrequently-used scouting tactic ahead of tomorrow's matc against Tamworth, kick off 3pm.
Despite missing the match through injury, Graham's son Mark plays for Tamworth and it made for some awkward conversations.
Mark told the Evening News: "Mum is in a state because Dad keeps asking her to get information out of me and I keep quizzing her on what Dad is up to.
"I have played against dad's teams before and they are always very challenging games. The rivalry certainly makes Sunday dinners more interesting."
Tamworth have lost coaches Steve Walsh and David Norton this summer, but manager Darron Gee boosted the squad by signing striker Marc McGregor and goalkeeper Phil Whitehead.
Lambs' commercial manager Russell Moore told the BBC: "We were staring at possible relegation to the Midland League just two years ago, so we've earnt the right to be here through lots of hard work. We know we have a very tough season ahead of us and they don't come much tougher than starting with Hereford."
The opponent's new signings and recent promotion from the Dr. Martens Premier Division does not mean Hereford are not confident, after a successful pre-season.
"It's gone very well both in terms of the matches and the quality of the training," said the United boss Turner. "We took the lads for further fitness tests at Gloucester University and the results have been quite impressive and there's been a big improvement from the start of pre-season."
David Brown, the attacker out with a broken collarbone, is unlike to feature at all but Jordan King's throat infection and Andy Tretton's back injury should have recovered sufficiently.
"Everybody is in the running," continued Turner. "Rob Purdie has done well and all the lads are showing a good touch and mobility."
