Hereford's 1500th Player Is Reece Styche

Reece Styche
“Club historian Ron Parrott is stumped! At the end of last season, Hereford United/Hereford FC had fielded a total of 1,493 different players in the Club’s history and with the first competitive game of the new season rapidly approaching, Ron was keenly waiting to see if the 1,500th player would take to the field against Spennymoor Town. Sure enough, he did but the trouble was that there were seven debutants in the starting line-up and this has put Ron in a bit of a dilemma. 

He comments: “I was looking forward to celebrating the historic occasion but with seven new faces against Spennymoor Town, how on earth do I decide just who was our 1,500th player. If I do it alphabetically, it would be Reece Styche and if I do it numerically, it would also be Reece Styche so in the absence of a more definitive method of deciding, stand up Reece Styche, you have the honour of becoming Hereford’s 1,500th player to make an appearance for the Club!” 

Ron also goes on to say “later in the season, we should also be looking at two more milestones. We need two more goals to make it a round 500 goals scored by the Club in the FA Cup and in the FA Trophy, the next player to score a goal will become our 50th player to score in that competition – lets hope it’s not an own-goal!”
