This from Talking Bull -
Hereford have struggled both on – and off – the pitch this season, but the arrival of both Aaron Downes and Harry Pell into the dug-out has re-invigorated the team with a much needed fresh approach. The upturn in fortunes has yet to see the Bulls climb out of the dreaded drop zone but surely the position will continue to improve in the weeks ahead.
The new issue of Talking Bull had to be delayed due to games not being played at Edgar Street but is packed with content within its full colour 48 pages, and is right up to date as we reflect on both the recent changes and events off-the-field.
Firstly we introduce Aaron Downes to Edgar Street as we outline the back story of ‘The Man From Mudgee’ highlighting his Australian roots.
Jo Clements continues to keep the faith detailing the London Bulls recent efforts backing the Bulls from ‘Worksop to Worcester’. The recent financial position of Radcliffe is concerning Steve Hughes who feels their position proves much of non-league football is no longer sustainable.
We take a detailed look at the run-in for Hereford United 50 Years Ago when John Sillett guided the club to the Third Division Title with end of season victories over Shrewsbury Town, Rotherham United and Preston North End. This coincided with the emergence of the young midfielder Kevin Sheedy. Whatever happened to him!
Another former Hereford manager – John Newman – passed away last November at the age of 91, and so Matt Healey has compiled a special Talking Bull tribute to the proud Herefordian which includes contributions from Stewart Phillips.
We even look back to some of Rod Davies’ special memories of 1958 including a Third Round FA Cup tie between Hereford and Sheffield Wednesday. It was his first match at Edgar Street and, even though United lost, he was hooked.
Our pictorial feature gives a graphic outline of Harrison Sohna’s stunning free-kick against South Shields, we congratulate Macclesfield – not for the Silkmen victory over the Bulls on Saturday, but for their FA Cup exploits against Crystal Palace and Brentford. We additionally look into the pitch problems at Edgar Street, and wonder why Hereford have suffered so many injuries this season?
The career of recent full-signing Keziah Martin is another feature article, but did you know he could have been an international cricketer!
We discover how to ‘Stop the Rot’ by tackling racism head on, take another look at irrational hatred, whilst Chris Hare – the Mindboggler – brings us the ‘Magic Touch.
In fact, there is so much content it would be impossible to outline it all here.
