Former Hereford United manager Colin Addison – who was in charge when the Bulls upset Newcastle United in the FA Cup in 1972 – has died at the age of 85.<\/p>\n
Addison also led them into the Football League for the first time in the club’s history.<\/p>\n
During his playing career, Addison had spells at Nottingham Forest and Arsenal, before joining Hereford as player-manager in 1971.<\/p>\n
The following year he led the non-league side to victories over Cheltenham Town, King’s Lynn and Northampton Town in the FA Cup before beating top-flight side Newcastle 2-1 at Edgar Street in a third-round replay.<\/p>\n
Ronnie Radford\u2018s stunning long-range strike cancelled out Malcolm Macdonald’s opener for Newcastle before Ricky George scored the Bulls’ winner in extra time.<\/p>\n
Hereford FC, the phoenix club set up in the city in 2014 after Hereford United were wound-up, said they were “devastated” to learn of Addison’s passing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Hereford United manager Colin Addison – who was in charge when the Bulls upset Newcastle United in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-263624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
