Sillett has fond memories of Hereford United

Tomorrow's game at Farnborough will bring back memories for manager Neil Sillett who told the Aldershot News and Mail he has memories of Edgar Street and Hereford United.

"It's a club that holds fond memories for me, sitting on the bench there when my dad was manager so it's a nice game for me in that respect but nothing would be better than getting the three points off them," said Sillett.

"We had Hereford watched on Tuesday night and they're a very good footballing team. They pass the ball well, they're probably expecting to be higher than where they are, and from what I've heard they probably should be higher than where they are."

Father John Sillett was arguably Hereford's most successful manager, according to HU-FC.co.uk, as he took the club to their biggest triumph - the Third Division championship in 1976. He joined from Bristol City, where he was a coach, in 1973, and stabilised the club before a superb 1975/76 campaign, but then the wheels came off. The Bulls were immediately relegated from Division Two, went straight through Division Three and ended up in Division Four again. Sillett quit in February 1978 and went on to take Coventry City to FA Cup success in 1987, but he returned for an unsuccessful season in 1991.
