A MUCH-LOVED Hereford supporter who cheered on the Bulls for over 70 years has sadly passed away, aged 96.

Doris Rogers loved backing the Bulls from the Len Weston Stand terrace and made many friends over the years.

Like many supporters, she watched the Giantkillers’ win over Newcastle and was one of the oldest supporters to attend Wembley in 2016 for the Bulls’ FA Vase Final against Morpeth.

Her grandson Paul, who was Head of Sport Content at the Hereford Times, said: “All of my chats with nan were about Hereford, and along with her family, it was her biggest love. “I was always amazed how she carried on standing in the Len Weston Stand when was well into her 80s and was so happy that she was able to see her beloved team at Wembley.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all her friends and family.
