| Mr Hereford United serving behind the bar last night |
He decided not to write about the current financial problems at the club but, instead, about his role as a fan.
"I decided I wanted to talk as a fan because, for me, it has always been my passion for this football club that drives me," he wrote.
Last Thursday he joined the Hereford supporters at Salisbury.
"At away games I have taken to standing with our fans for the second-half.
"It brings back great memories of great away days and it’s good to hear
the cheeky banter that still exists, just as it was on the Meadow End
when I was growing up.
"One chant did make me smile ... it was the
Salisbury fans singing a rather rude song about Ronnie Radford.
"How fantastic that opposition fans are singing about one of our legends,
I bet 95 per cent of those singing weren’t even born when Ronnie was
making history.
"They couldn’t have paid us a bigger compliment."
However Salisbury won the game but next Sunday it's the FA Cup at Burton.
"We have had great games against the likes of Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham,
Newcastle, Leeds, Brentford, Wrexham in the Welsh Cup final, Halifax at
the Walkers Stadium to name just a few, and I want our young fans to
experience that same thrill.
"Football is a cruel mistress and you have to experience the lows to
appreciate the highs, and I for one will never stop believing in this
great club of ours."
