Believe it of not it will be five years tomorrow (Monday) since Graham Turner announced that John Trewick, pictured, was to replace Richard O'Kelly as coach at Hereford United.
O'Kelly had moved to Bournemouth after what many supporters said was the Bulls most exciting campaign with over 100 goals scored and the highest gates for many seasons.
Trewick started coaching at West Bromwich in 1993. Whilst there he worked for a spell with O'Kelly in their youth system. In 1997 he stood in as caretaker manager on three occasions.
He moved to Derby County in 2001. After leaving Derby he worked for the FA for a short time, basically coaching coaches, before joining Hereford United.
"When you get a coach that's worked at a higher level coming to a smaller club they've got to adapt," Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester at the time.
"John has got that personality that means he's prepared to muck in and do whatever needs doing."
The Bulls finished second in the Conference in Trewick's first year with the club, but were beaten in the play-offs. His second season saw the Bulls go one better and gain promotion to League Two, where in his third year they eventually finished 16th.
The 2007–08 season saw Hereford consistently placed in the top five of League Two, and they secured automatic promotion at Brentford with a match to spare.
But last season was disappointing as the Bulls came bottom of League One. Trewick had been handed the manager's job by Graham Turner with just a couple of matches remaining and, in truth, didn't have enough time to stop relegation.
"John Trewick is a very experienced and respected football man who is capable of having an impact on the players and giving the club the impetus to put us into contention for a quick return to League One," Turner told the Guardian when he appointed Trewick as manager.
This season will not be easy for Trewick. Faced with a budget cut from chairman Turner of around 25%, he will need all his acumen both on and off the field to mount a reasonable challenge in League Two.
