Hereford United legend Ronnie Radford was at Wembley recently to award Bradford City the FA Giant-killers cup after their win over Chelsea in the FA Cup earlier this year.
Ronnie, now 71, gave the award to Bradford joint chairman Mark Lawn and chief operating officer James Mason.
“Being the iconic FA Cup figure he is, Ronnie was very gracious in understanding that his name may be usurped by the likes of Jon Stead, Andy Halliday, Mark Yeates and Filipe Morais," said Mason.
“He’s still an active fan and keeps an eye on all football, especially the Yorkshire teams because he lives in Wakefield.
“He listened to the Chelsea game and saw the highlights and agreed it has to go down as one of the greatest FA Cup results ever. That’s no small beer coming from someone like Ronnie Radford.
“But he did joke that ‘I bet your players weren’t back at work the day after like us!’ The next day after his wonder goal, Ronnie was working as a joiner.”
