On a freezing cold night 28 years ago. Hereford United defeated Division Three side Colchester United in a FA Cup 2nd round replay

The visitors took the lead early in the 2nd half through Steve Forbes, but a minute later Neil Grayson equalised. The game went to extra time and penalties. 

Hereford goalkeeper Andy deBont was the hero when he saved the final spot kick. It would be Tranmere at home in the 3rd round for the Bulls.
