Ronnie Radford With Gerald Powell |
The sad news of Ronnie Radford has meant that there is even more interest in tomorrow's FA Cup tie between Hereford and Portsmouth.
"We just hope we can do Ronnie proud," said Hereford general manager Jamie Griffiths speaking to the BBC.
"The BBC being here just adds to the occasion and make it even more special.
"We were in contact with him at the time.
"But he sadly wasn't well enough to come down from his home in Yorkshire to attend.
"So, although we did know that he had not been well, it was still a shock to hear of his passing - and we will do our best to help give him a fitting send-off."
