I'm So Proud To Be The Manager Of Hereford FC


After defeating Marine last night, Hereford manager Aaron Downes spoke to the local media.

"I'm so proud to be the manager of this football club,"said Downes.

"Now please take this the right way everybody because I'm well aware, very conscious, that we need a result on Saturday so this is not done.

"I just want to state on record first and foremost that atmosphere was unbelievable at the end.

"We've got a great football club.

"I'm going to make sure that I do everything in my powers to refocus everybody and make sure we are ready to go on Saturday.

"It's a great night and a great result but it is paramount now that we sort ourselves out, make sure we are ready to go against Peterborough because we have got to make sure now, after tonight that we go and do it.

"I'm very happy, very proud, but at the same time I'm fully aware that we haven't finished the job." 


Andy Williams chased down the ball that led to the penalty that won the game for Hereford.

"He was the first person I spoke to when I went on the pitch. I made a bee-line straight for him.

"It doesn't surprise me with Willo but at the same time I can't let that go un-noticed  to him.

"I mentioned in the changing room afterwards to the players, I said if any of you want to model your career on anybody it is him because he sprinted, shut that down and then to be fair Kezy backed him up.

"Those are moments as a manager I can't control. I can tell them different things and what I think is right but they have got to do that and they have got to have the heart and desire.

"I can motivate them and I can cajole them into having that heart and desire but that's Willo in a nutshell and I'm estatic for him and I'm really happy to make a point that he's made a massive impact whether he is playing or not playing.

"He's been brilliant for me since I've been in and I can't thank him enough. He dese."ves that,
