Turner receives Coat of Arms

Graham Turner was presented with the Hereford Coat of Arms this morning at the Town Hall.



After appreciative words from both the Chairman of Herefordshire Council Councillor John Stone and the Mayor of Hereford, Councillor Chris Chappell, the Hereford United manager was presented with the Hereford Coat of Arms.



Graham Turner responded firstly by thanking all his staff, John Trewick, Tony Ford and Wayne Jones and all the players.

"It has been a real pleasure working with them this season. They've been a great bunch of players. It's great to have come across a group that have gelled together, worked together, and drink together occassionally I've got to say that.



"And if I'm honest I saw it at first hand last night!

"But they have been fanastic and deserve all the accolades that they have received"



"There has been a tremendous turnout today



"The most important people involved in a football club - we come and go - supporters are the most important part of a football club and I think we will leave the club in a far better state than we found it. Divisions higher.

"Players will come and go. I'll go but supporters they support their club for a lifetime.

"Thank you very much for a season of great support. I've got to say particularily away from home. The support away has been absolutely tremendous.

"Enjoy the rest of the day."
