NEWS | Former Hereford United player Peter Timms has passed away aged 86
Former Hereford United player Peter Timms has sadly passed away at the age of 86. Peter made 305 appearances for the club between 1963 and 1971 and was a member of the team that famously defeated Millwall in the FA Cup in 1965.
Programme notes for the FA Cup 2nd round match against Millwall. HUFC were a Southern League team and Millwall were four points clear at the top of the old Third Division.
Good Afternoon Everybody,
Today we extend a special welcome to the Millwall players, officials and supporters, and look forward to an entertaining match.
Our friends from London who won promotion last season when they finished runners-up in the Fourth Division, are once again enjoying a highly successful campaign and are clear leaders at the top of the Third Division at present. Needless to say they have not got there by luck and it has taken hard work and skill to win their way to the top of the table.
I can vouch for the fact that manager Bill Gray has welded around him an efficient and well-drilled combination, having seen them in action at York and against Oxford during the last fortnight. But they are not unbeatable and if every Hereford United supporter here today gives us sufficient vocal encouragement I am sure we will give our Football League guests a run for their money.
In the past we have pulled off quite a few giant-killing acts and given the run of the green and a few lucky breaks we can do it again this afternoon. I know I can count on the players giving everything they have got and it will not be for the want of trying on their part if we fail in our bid for a third round place when the draw is made on Monday.
Before signing off I would like to congratulate the team on their fine 5-2 win against Chelmsford last Saturday. I was at Millwall at the time but from all reports I have received we played really well. Let’s hope for a repeat performance this afternoon!
Bob Dennison
The Bulls won the game 1-0 with Ron Fogg grabbing his sixteenth of the season.
HUFC: Peter Isaac, Selwyn Vale, Peter Timms, Peter McCall, Ray Daniel, Ian McIntosh, Brian Punter, Alan Rodgerson, Ron Fogg, Albert Derrick, Freddie Jones.
MILLWALL: Stepney, Gilchrist, Cripps, Jones, Snowdon, Wilson, Rowan, Julians, Brown, Jacks, McQuade.

Highlights From Worksop
Highlights of last Saturday's game between Worksop and Hereford are now available to watch.
Off and Running - New Talking Bull - On Sale Now!
This from Talking Bull:
Off and Running, the latest edition of Talking Bull – the Hereford Fanzine – is on-sale now.
The new managerial pairing of Aaron Downes and Harry Pell saw a newly re-invigorated team survive the dreaded drop zone last season, and have now built an ultra competitive, skilful, and attacking squad. A great start to the new campaign has seen the energetic side pick up three wins on the spin, and an early slot in the ‘Top Six’ of the Enterprise National League North.
The new issue of Talking Bull is once again packed with content within its full colour 48 pages, and is right up to date as we reflect on both the recent changes and events off-the-field.
Firstly we introduce Harrison Iwunze to Edgar Street as we assess the instant impact of ‘Our Man From County’ after his exploits with goals against Marine, Radcliffe and Worksop.
Indeed, editor Tom Gough, also puts the spotlight on ‘Cool Hand Luke’ who has impressed already in midfield, with Spokes notching the Bulls second goal at Worksop. Tom also wonders whether the ex Southend striker Danny Waldron can become the focal point of the attack, whilst we await the introduction of the ‘Flying’ Fin Holmes racing up the Hereford left flank.
The arrival of Kam Kandola from Kidderminster has sharpened expectations and, up until his ridiculous red card against Radcliffe, the Punjabi Bull has impressed everyone, especially all of us here at Talking Bull HQ. We study the background to new signing Joe Willis, with many anticipating his selection as it will provide Aaron Downes with extra ‘bite’ in midfield. Billy Phillips has started the campaign in technically sharp fashion with the goal against Radcliffe, as depicted on the front cover, as a particular highlight. We also take a look at ‘one of our own’ Jordan Williamson whilst Simon Wright insists we can ‘Put Our Trust’ in Harry Tustin.
There are a number of clubs who will be competing in the NLN for the first time this season and so, courtesy of Bullscast, we provide an insight into each club plus the all important ground guides to Spalding United, Harborough Town, Hednesford, Morecambe and Hebburn.
Anthony Eckersely brings us the ‘Musings of an Exiled Fan’ as he visits both Edgar Street and Old Trafford. You can find out which atmosphere he preferred; the no music for 15 minute policy at Manchester, or the raw passion of the flag-flying Bulls Battalion at the Meadow End.
In a special ‘100 Years Ago’ feature we reveal the history of Hereford United in the 1920’s. We’ve even obtained a team photograph ahead of the very first home match against Atherstone Town in 1924, and guess what? United played in white shirts, white shorts and black socks! Who knew.
Our centre-spread features the stunning away win last week at Worksop whilst, from the Ron Parrott Archive, we look back at a ‘Dream Fulfilled’ as Hereford were elected to the Football League in place of Barrow.
‘One Horse, Two Games and a Pair of Koalas’ reminds us of the fun, excitement and sheer nervousness surrounding the last away game of the season at Bedford. Ox Bull wonders whether there will ever be a Hereford based team. Chris Jones looks back 50 years, to his first match at Edgar Street, when Hereford beat Hull City thanks to a goal from Dixie McNeil in August 1976.
James Edwards went in ‘Search of a Win’ at Marine last season and was so delighted at the Bulls’ victory that he splashed out on a cheese pie! Happy Days. We look back at the 2026 World Cup Carnival, discuss FIFA 2.0, the Squad Builder and the 3pm Black-Out rule.
In fact, there is so much content it would be impossible to outline it all here.
Fans can purchase their printed (whilst stocks last) – or electronic – copy right now.
Don’t miss out on a printed copy – as our last 19 issues have completely sold-out.
Watch out for, and listen out for, our sales team outside Edgar Street on Saturday ahead of the top-of-the-table clash against Chester. First come, first served. Still only £3. Cash!

Hereford U18's win first away game of the campaign to claim back-to-back victories
Hereford FC U18's won their first away game of the campaign in Midland Floodlit Youth League Southern Division on Monday night beating previously unbeaten Stratford Town U18's 2-0 at the Arden Garages Stadium.
The Bulls youngsters took the lead after 11 minutes after good work by Jack McGowan down the left his cross was poked into his own net by a centre-back. The underside of the crossbar was also rattled 5 minutes later by Jude Gaudin from the edge of the area.
McGowan then doubled the lead himself in the second-half after a ball came to him on the edge of the area before slamming it past the goalkeeper. Ollie Morris had two goals disallowed for offside along with a penalty shout after Harry Jones was upended and the woodwork was hit a second time after a neat turn by substitute Milo Corbett.
The 2-0 scoreline flattered the hosts in which the margin of victory for the Bulls youngsters’ could of been more handsome but in the end two was more than enough.
Hereford are back on the road next up with a trip to Alcester Town U18's.

Hereford play Chester next Saturday at Edgar Street.
Richardson In National North Team Of The Weekend
Hereford goal-keeper Theo Richardson has been included in the National North team of the weekend.
He kept a clean sheet in the game at Worksop last Saturday.
It was his third clean sheet in three games.
Worksop's Red Card
Last Saturday afternoon Worksop's Alexs Starcenko was sent off for, it appears, kicking the ball into the stand where Hereford fans were sitting.
It was thought he had been given a yellow card earlier in the game but the referee showed a straight red card.
Not for the first time this season it has to be questioned whether the referee was influenced by so many players surrounding him.
Here's how Worksop reported the sending off:
'Towards the end the game became more open as Starcenko saw red after picking up a second yellow card for dissent, giving the away side the boost to go on and win the game.'
Hereford FC:
'Starcenko is sent off for angrily smashing the ball into the away supporters.'
Bulls News Report:
'The Tigers we're reduced to 10-men with 8 minutes to go when Aleksandrs Starcenko completely lost his head and kicked the ball into the Bulls crowd after a free-kick was given to Hereford. A melee ensued, Skinner appeared to be hit in the face by a Worksop player which he tried to explain to referee Luke Hood but he ignored his claims.'
Hereford Supporter:
'The sending off was unusual to say the least. The ball went into the crowd, and one of the Bulls fans grabbed the ball and refused to give it back to the Worksop player. There was a lot of abusive language in both directions and other players and fans joined in. It could have got quite nasty.
Another ball was taken but before the play could restart the original ball was thrown back onto the pitch, at which point the Worksop player got hold of it and smashed it into the crowd. Immediate red card and a bit of a fracas followed. Skinner tried to make out that he had been hit in the face, the Bulls players were taunting the guy who was sent off and the Worksop players were furious.
There’s no excuse for what the Worksop player did, someone could have been hurt the way he lashed the ball into the crowd.'
'He (Starcenko) did lose his cool, spectacularly - play had stopped, he hit a screamer into the away section, straight red. Followed by 11 vs 10 handbags in our box, home 'keeper included (that should be another card) which saw Skinns take one on the chin, he'll live, and maybe one more yellow from a very weak referee.'
Earlier Hereford manager Aaron Downes spoke about this kind of incident as two similar had happened in the previous two games.
"It's frustrating because they are so strong on the law that only one player can get around the referee," Downes told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"I would like to think that the National League and the FA would take action on opposition teams that surround the referee because on both occasions everybody, it's clear to see there's more than one person surrounding the referee to change, to influence, the decision.
"From a Radcliffe point of view you can't blame them, they were trying to influence the referee and it worked.
"The referee pulled a yellow card out ready to yellow card our player (Kandola) then put it back in his pocket and then pulled a red card out after the players surrounded him.
"I'm telling my players let the captain deal with it but maybe I'm being naive because I don't want our football club getting a fine because we can't afford to do that.
"When teams influence the referee like they are it makes you think we should be surrounding them and doing that.
"But that's not the way the laws are stated and written to us so the National League and the FA need to look into this because they either stick to the laws they've enforced on us or not.
"It's something we might look into mentioning."
