Former Chairman remembered

Former Hereford United chairman Frank Miles has died at the age of 72.

Miles was chairman of the Bulls from 1969 to 1978, a period of relative success for the club.

Before the start of last night's LDV game there was a minute silence for both Frank Miles and Joe Wade, a former manager who also died recently.

Update Thursday:

The Daily Telegraph reports about Frank Miles:

Frank Miles, a former chairman of Hereford United, died yesterday of a heart attack aged 72, having been suffering with cancer. When Miles became chairman he predicted the then-Southern League club would make the original first division within 10 years. By 1976, having won the third division title, they were just one step away.
