Terry Paine in Hereford Tomorrow

Terry Paine is due to be at Waterstones, Hereford tomorrow (Monday) to promote his new book 'Constant Paine'.

Written by David Bull, the book follows Paine's career including his time at Edgar Street.

Paine will sign copies of his 460 page biography from 11am.

For anyone who missed it we republish our article from two weeks ago about Paine's book:

'Constant Paine' written by David Bull is a biography about one of Hereford United all-time favourites, Terry Paine.

Paine came to Edgar Street as player/coach in the summer of 1974 after eighteen years with Southampton. He was instrumental in pushing Hereford United into Division Two in 1976. He collected nineteen England caps in his career and even played at the 1966 World Cup, featuring against Mexico. Paine retired in 1976, just after the start of the Division Two campaign, but came out of retirement later in the season to aid United's battle against relegation. In all he made 111 League apprances for Hereford scoring eight goals.

The book has three chapters with special reference to Hereford United. There are also contributions from Dixie McNeil and Steve Emery amidst others.

Its contents are:

Terry’s early years, growing up in Winchester and graduating from Highcliffe Corinthians to Southampton, via Winchester City.
Southampton FC, 1957-74. A record number of appearances – destined never to be beaten?
His 19 games for England, climaxing in the game against Mexico, during the World Cup Finals of 1966.
Player-coach at Hereford United, 1974-77.
His spasmodic career at Cheltenham Town, 1977-79, as a player and later player-manager, with a break to manage in Kuwait.
His new life in South Africa, beginning with Bobby Charlton’s 1979 tour and continuing, through managing amateur teams to several seasons of managing at the top, with a break to coach at Coventry City.
His career, still ongoing in his late 60s, as a leading sports-caster – stationed in Johannesburg but broadcasting across Africa and beyond.
His role as an ambassador for South Africa’s World Cup bid.
