Fifteen years ago this month Hereford United were in a relegation battle. The Bulls had been hovering close to the bottom of the Division Three table for much of the season. However they travelled to Scarborough after a run of three games undefeated.
April 12th 1997: SCARBOROUGH 1 Hereford 1
Scarborough suffered one of their biggest shocks of the season against lowly Hereford, effectively ending their hopes of a play-off berth.
Hereford keeper Trevor Wood was called upon to make three great saves in the first ten minutes as the home side piled on the pressure.
However gainst the run of play Hereford went ahead in the 37th minute when striker John Williams was superbly set up by Brian McGorry and outpaced three defenders to score.
In the 70th minute Scarborough's Gareth Williams cancelled out Williams's opener for Hereford who are now just three points ahead of basement club Brighton.
"We still have to work hard to survive in the League. But this was a good point and we should do it," said Hereford's Graham Turner.
Scarborough assistant manager Ray McHale said: "They were a vastly improved side on the one we played earlier in the season."
