Hereford supporter Russell Quinn recently asked Perplexity (an AI-driven search engine) “What was Hereford United’s worst-ever day?” and its answer is below.
“Hereford United's worst-ever day was likely February 5, 1972, when they faced Newcastle United in an FA Cup third round replay at their home ground Edgar Street.
Despite being massive underdogs against the top-flight side, Hereford took a shock 2-1 lead in extra time through goals from Ronnie Radford and Ricky George.
However, the day was marred by multiple pitch invasions from the over 16,000 fans in attendance, with some spectators even climbing trees and floodlight pylons to get a view.
The pitch itself deteriorated into a quagmire due to the rain and the sheer number of people on it.
While Hereford ultimately held on for an iconic giant-killing victory, the chaotic scenes and unruly behavior of some fans likely made it a highly stressful and challenging day for the club officials and players.”
Russell noted "There has been a lot written about AI’s inability to understand humour, but it clearly doesn’t understand sport either."
