Dick Bate joined up with the HUFC management back in 1995
following a three-year spell as Technical Director for the Malaysia National
Team.
Yesterday, Bate discussed with Bulls News how he joined The
Bulls.
"I knew my time in Malaysia was coming to an end and my wife
and I planned to return to England and make a home in the countryside. We had our eye on a property near
Ross-on-Wye (where they still live) so in the previous December I wrote to
Hereford United asking if they needed a coach."
"The following January I received a letter inviting me to
team up with John Layton here at Edgar Street."
"I enjoyed my time here particularly working with the
youngsters although the facilities were not the best."
"Coming back today, the most noticeable changes are the
great improvements in the dressing
rooms and a top notch playing surface.
I'm aware of the financial difficulties but there is certainly a feel
that The Club is moving forward."
"I'm not far from the time when I will call it a day on my
working life in football and when I retire I'll probably buy myself a season
ticket for HUFC and become a regular visitor to Edgar Street."
