Cult hero Guy Ipoua will be guest of honour for today's match sponsors the Tupsley Whites.
He played less than half the game time of the 05/06 promotion season, and then rarely saw both the start and finish of any game, but Ipoua became an instant hit both on and off the pitch. A goal in each of the first three games of that season saw the first of many late night celebrations that were to typify Ipoua's Bulls career.
After nearly three months on the sidelines, being 'nearly fit', he came good at the right time - firing the Bulls into the play-off final with the extra-time winner, and then equalising in the final itself to send the tie into extra time.

The Tupsley Whites are a group of fans living in and around Hereford. The tenuous link together is Tupsley and Bishops School . We travel to most away games and take triumph and disaster in our stride. No matter what we support the Bulls.
The Tupsley Whites sponsor John Trewick, the world’s greatest League 2 coach and adopted Geordie Herefordian!
We are going to enjoy today and celebrate Hereford United’s promotion to League 1. As always, we will be supporting the lads on and off the pitch and thanking them for a magnificent season. This is the best team we have had for decades! Thank you Graham!
