Neil Aspin ( in the middle) |
It's well known that Neil Aspin, the Halifax manager, and Martin Foyle, the Hereford manager, are old friends.
And after yesterday's drawn match at the Shay they had a chat over a drink.
Afterwards Aspin told the Halifax OS about Hereford's tactics and his admiration for Foyle.
"Martin picked a strong team that was more defensive in midfield rather
than attacking. They didn’t play their wide players like they did the
other night. They are big physically and that helped them against our
threat.
“But I don’t want to praise him too much! He was obviously a
very good player and he’s a good professional who has done well in his
management career.
“It’s nice to face up to your old team-mates. There
isn’t going to be any fighting tonight because it’s a draw! But it would
have been nice to have won. I’ve got a lot of respect for Martin. He
always does a good job wherever he manages.”
