Feb 9th 1996:
FOOTBALL legend Ricky George has been questioned by detectives investigating a multi-million- pound fashion goods fraud.
George, who scored the winning goal for non-league Hereford in a 1972 FA Cup tie against First Division giants Newcastle, is on the board of a sports clothing business, the Bury Hill Group.
Police say the fraud, uncovered in November, is likely to be handed over to the Serious Fraud Office.
The scam began when the American Timberland company took a £4.3 million order from a British-based firm for shoes, sweatshirts and coats.
Payment was to be made via letters of credit issued by a London merchant bank. The goods were distributed from Timberland UK's Surrey headquarters last summer via a network of companies to shops all over Britain.
But when Timberland tried to cash the credit letters they found they had been obtained using forged documents. A large part of the consignment has been recovered, but thousands more items have been sold.
Mr George volunteered to be questioned by Surrey police. Several other men have been questioned and police are searching for a former senior employee of Timberland UK who is believed to have left the country.
A CID source said: "Mr George has been questioned but he has not been arrested. The matter is now likely to be taken over by the Serious Fraud Office."

Feb 9th 2002:
JOHN Snape is hoping to extend Hereford United's unbeaten run to eight games today as the Bulls host Leigh RMI, kick off 3pm.
The livewire midfielder is in his fourth season at Edgar Street and is known as one of Hereford's most committed players who is never afraid to go in for a challenge.
"Snape has been one of the unsung heroes in the years gone by but this year he has also proved a goal threat with something like five to his name," said coach Phil Robinson in tonight's Evening News.
"He is very hard working and a real battler and as I said is now contributing with some goals. His strengths are that he is very strong and powerful and you need these kind of players in your team.
"Basically you know what you are going to get from him - he is a very consistent and committed player. Every team needs to have somebody who every week will work hard and win the ball back and he is certainly one of them.
"Central midfield is the hardest position on the field. They have to get forward in goalscoring positions and support the forwards, then get back and work hard defensively. You normally find at every club that in the fitness tests central midfielders come out on top because they have to do so much running."
