Tributes have poured in following the death of Hereford United legend Ronnie Radford.
The news was confirmed by Hereford FC earlier this afternoon.
In a post on Facebook, Hereford FC said:
“We are devasted to hear of Ronnie’s passing, and wish to extend our deepest condolences the to family and friends at this very sad time.
“Ronnie is not just a part of Hereford United folklore, he is a part of football history and has kept Hereford on the football map since 1972.
“His mild manner, and friendly and modest approach to life epitomised the man he was and he was always delighted to visit Edgar Street, to meet up with past teammates and watch the present day team in action.
“We will always keep Ronnie close to our hearts at Edgar Street, not just at FA Cup moments, but forever and celebrate him and his huge role in propelling Hereford United to the forefront of the nations attention with that goal and being part of that team.
“We will carry your spirit onwards. Rest in peace Ronnie.”
The Your Herefordshire team would like to join Hereford FC in sending our condolences to the family of Ronnie at this difficult time.
