| Marlon Jackson After Scoring Hereford's Third Goal Last Night At Truro |
Hereford
United club historian Ron Parrott has been delving back through the
archives of the Bulls following last night’s 4-3 triumph at Torquay
against Truro City and he can confirm that it is the fourth time in the
club’s history that we have overturned a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 victory.
The first occasion was back on 8th October 1960 when United trailed 0-3 at Wisbech Town just after half-time but fought back to win 4-3 with a hat-trick from Roly Morris after 52, 54 and 89 minutes and an 87th minute strike from Ray Daniel.

The
second historic event took place at Northampton Town in the Football
League Division 2 on 16th October 2010 when United were 0-3 down at
half-time but achieved an unforgettable 4-3 victory with goals from
Stuart Fleetwood 58 & 70 minutes, James McQuilkin after 72 and
Mathieu Manset after 78 minutes.
The
third time it happened was as recently as 22nd August 2015 in an
unforgettable game at Rocester in the Midland Premier League. Again,
Hereford found themselves 0-3 down at the interval but who could ever
forget the magnificent second-half comeback when they won the day with
goals from Pablo Haysham after 61 minutes, John Mills after 74, Nathan
Hughes after 85 and a nerve-wracking last-minute penalty from Rob
Purdie!
To
balance matters, we have also only twice managed the situation in
reverse in the Club's history. In 1946/47 we were leading 3-0 at home to
Cheltenham Town in the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup but managed
to lose it 4-3 and in 1956/57 we were 3-0 up at half-time at Chelmsford
City and yes, you've guessed it, we somehow contrived to lose it 4-3.
