Bulls Advent Calendar - No.12


Number 12 on the Bulls Advent Calendar is Len Weston.


The original 'Mr Hereford United', he joined the club's board in 1946 before becoming chairman three years later. He led the club for 16 years until 1965, and was Club President for six more until his death in 1971.

Weston steered the club though a number of financial crises, often stumping up large sums - usually classed as 'donations from the supporters club' - when the wolves were at the door. 60 years ago in the 1953/4 season the club recorded a £11,282 loss - the equivalent to £260,000 today - with the supporters club magically raising £11,450 to cover the loss.


After his death, his name was placed on the newly built Len Weston Stand. Completed in February 1973, it remains a lasting legacy for a man the club will be lucky to see the likes of again.
