Phil Crossley from Kent is set to referee Saturday's League One game at Edgar Street where the visitors will be Peterborough United.
Following an Achilles injury whilst playing, Crossley took up refereeing at age 29 and soon made rapid steps through the Suburban, Isthmian and Panel Leagues until his promotion to the National List of referees in 2002.
Hereford United haven't met up with Crossley since early 2002 when he was in charge of games at both Dover, where the Bulls won 1-0 with a late goal from substitute Steve Piearce, and at Doncaster where the Bulls lost 4-0.
His only appearance at Edgar Street was in April 2001 when Hereford defeated Rushden and Diamonds 3-1.
That day Hereford secured their first league win in over two months beating top of the table Rushden & Diamonds by three goals to one. An early own goal by away captain Ray Warburton put the Bulls ahead, and then two in five minutes from Rob Elmes gave Hereford a 3-0 lead at the break.
R&D did get one back in the second half, an own goal from Tony James.
