Hereford United giant-killing manager Colin Addison was remembered by Premier League leaders, Arsenal this week.
The 85-year-old featured on the Gunners' matchday programme for the Champions League encounter with Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
A tannoy announcement was also made prior to the game, with the club saying it was deeply saddened to hear about Addison's recent passing, and their thoughts were with his family.
Addison joined Arsenal from Sheffield United in 1966, scoring nine goals in 28 appearances. A return to the Blades followed, before signed for Hereford in 1971.
The following year was arguably Addison's greatest year, masterminding the Bull's infamous FA Cup win over Newcastle at Edgar Street, which helped launch John Motson's career behind the microphone, and made players like Ronnie Radford and Ricky George into household names.
It also helped Hereford - then a Southern League club - be elected into the Football League and start a tremendous period in which it reached the second tier.
In total, Addison managed 18 clubs, including two spells at Edgar Street. As well as in England and Wales, he also took charge of sides in South Africa, the Middle East and Spain, including famous clubs like Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo.
A memorial service celebrating Addison's life will take place at Hereford Cathedral at 11.30am on 5 February, 2026 - 53 years to the day of the famous Newcastle game.
