Bulls Hero Gets Another Award

Former Hereford United player/manager John Charles received yet another award for a glittering career in the game last night.

The Swansea-born Charles, now age 70, was awarded with the Merit Award at the 2001 BBC Wales Sports Personality of the Year ceremony in recognition for his huge contribution to Welsh sport.

Known as the 'Gentle Giant', Charles played for the Welsh international side at the 1958 World Cup and, on the club scene, for Swansea City, Leeds United, Juventus, Roma, Cardiff City and Merthyr Tydfil as well as at Edgar Street for Hereford.
