Foreword
I’m privileged to be asked to write the foreword for this book. The history of Hereford United is long and varied and I’m sure the questions in this book will bring back plenty of memories.
Having been fortunate enough to see a preview of the book, I know that Hereford United fans of all ages will be entertained for hours on end on questions past and present about Hereford United.
As we continue to write new chapters in the Clubs history it’s always fitting to remember what went before.
I hope you all enjoy this wonderful quiz book as much as I did.
Best wishes
Graham Turner
