A new 96 page book, called Hereford United - A Pictorial History, will be on sale in August.
Written by Ron Parrott, Richard Prime and John Williamson, the book is priced at £14.99.
The Hereford United story has enjoyed plenty of twists and turns through
its eighty-nine-year history: promotions and relegations, international
players, FA Cup successes and the BBC's goal of the century have all
ensured that there has been plenty of excitement for the loyal band of
Bulls fans. From humble days in the Birmingham League, the club battled
its way up to what is now the Championship before slipping back to
non-league football again. Now, the club is looking for a third crack at
the Football League as they overcome financial problems and gain
promotion from the Football Conference. Relive through this unique
collection of images the fascinating history of the Bulls.
Most Hereford United supporters will know or know of the authors but for those who don't here's a brief insight.
Ron Parrott is a lifelong Hereford fan who was taken to his first game at the tender age of three by his grandfather Bill Parrott, a former chairman of the Supporters Club and sports editor of the Hereford Times. Ron acts as Club Historian as well as running the programme subscription service. He is the author of Hereford United: The Wilderness Years (Desert Island:2006).
Richard's life changed, as did many others, when Ronnie Radford's famous goal hit the back of the Newcastle net, inspiring in the then-teenager what has become a lifelong passion for the Bulls. As the sports editor of the Hereford Times, Richard now follows the Bulls' fortunes in a professional capacity and has broadened his geographical knowledge of England covering their matches for almost two decades.
John has a long-standing association with Hereford United as supporter, reporter, programme editor and contributor, and author. Although proud to be a Yorkshireman, after moving to Hereford in 1957 he also considers himself an adopted Herefordian. He is a qualified football coach and takes a keen interest in most sports. Married, with two grown-up daughters, John has two grandchildren (Amy and Ben).
