Fourty years ago Tom Knight watched the Bulls defeat Newcastle United. In an article published by the Daily Telegraph in 2008, Knight remembers.
It remains one of my favourite years. There was David Bowie, Roxy Music, a camping holiday with the lads in Devon and that day in February when my home town and its little football team became famous around the world.
But I was standing behind the goal at the other end. I was 16, studying for my 'O' Levels and probably considered myself far too cool to make a show of myself.
My younger brother was at the Meadow End - the so-called Hereford kop - but couldn't fight his way through the hordes of kids tumbling from the overcrowded terraces. He didn't have a Parka either.
his was a match that everyone in the city had been looking forward to.
We had heard about Malcolm Macdonald's claim that he would score a bucket load of goals against the Southern League part-timers and even though the Newcastle fans were heavily outnumbered, they still swaggered their way to Edgar Street.
I knew these big city lads could get what they wanted when I watched a group of them surround a girl outside the ground, refusing to let her go until she had given them all a kiss.
I thought the match was all over when Macdonald scored after 82 minutes.
But Hereford never gave up. The way that Ronnie Radford scrapped to win the ball before his wonder goal typified the team spirit that day.
Waiting for the final whistle was agony. When it came, cup fever dominated the city for weeks.
We were given the day off school for the fourth round replay at West Ham.
Geoff Hurst ended the dream with a hat-trick but my mates and I had the bonus of a "blink and you'll miss it" appearance in the official film made to mark the centenary of the FA Cup.
