Former Director dies

Archie Phillips, a former director of Hereford United, died earlier this week.



Mr Phillips, a self-made millionaire, will be remembered as playing a large part in putting together a rescue package when United were in financial trouble in 1982. He even took over as groundsman at Edgar Street for a while.



He joined the board of Hereford United in March 1977 but resigned in 1991, although continued to support the club as a vice-president.



Stewart Phillips, his son, still holds the record for the highest number of football league goals scored by a United player.



The funeral service for Mr Phillips will take place on Monday at Bullinghope Church at 10.30am.



An excellent article by Ian Morgan on the life of Mr Phillips appears in this morning's Hereford Times.
