How Chris came back to Hereford

Chris MacKenzie, the Telford goalkeeper on loan to the Bulls, was spotted in the dressing room by Dave Bradley at Edgar Street this morning. Bradley used to cover Hereford United for BBC Hereford & Worcester.

"Chris, Chris MacKenzie is it not?" asked Bradley. "Indeed it is, back at Edgar Street. Tell us the story."

"I had a phone call Wednesday morning," said MacKenzie. "It said that they had a goalkeeper problem down here and did I fancy it. Of course everybody knows the situation at Telford is touch and go whether there will be a club on Monday morning. We'll all on half pay and not getting paid so it was a situation that suited everybody really. Hereford get a goalie, Telford get off the wage bill and I get a job. So I couldn't say no. And of course coming back to my old club as well."

Asked about moving after the transfer deadline, MacKenzie replied: "I just think that the club got dispensation because of only one fit goalkeeper at such an important period of the season. With the play-offs coming up the League have said yes."

"You could have a great end to the season," suggested Bradley. MacKenzie replied: "I hope so although I might be a bit of a bystander just enjoying looking at everybody else!"
