50 on Friday for Rose
Assuming he is picked, which must be a foregone conclusion, Michael Rose will make his 50th appearance for Hereford United next Friday at Burton. Of the intake of players that joined the Bulls in the late summer of 2002, he has made the most starts; five more than Steve Guinan and six more than Andy Tretton and Danny Williams.
His goal tally is six including two this season, the most recent coming yesterday from a free-kick about 25 yards from goal.
Still only 21, Rose joined Hereford after a spell at Chester and as well as being a vital part of the Edgar Street team, he has also played for the English Semi-Professional side on several occasions. He featured in all three English games at the end-of-season International Tourament held in Wales last May.
The only cloud on the horizon for him at present appears to be his collection of four yellow cards already this season. One more and he will have to miss a game as his punishment.
