Hereford FC senior player Ryan Green, who was vice-captain when Peter Beadle was in charge and manager for several games before Marc Richards was appointed, offered to speak to the press after this afternoon's defeat.
Some members of the press had asked for captain Harvey Smith to be interviewed.
When the call for Smith came through to the players changing room, Green said he would go instead if Smith wanted him to. It was a nice gesture given the result and the fact that Smith had unfortunately scored a own-goal
To his credit Smith faced the press. After the interview Smith, who is the first 'loan player captain' at Hereford FC, spoke about Green's offer.
