Dragons featured old Hereford programme

One of the features in the excellent Wrexham programme from the Racecourse on Sunday was a look back at a match programme from the past.

They featured the programme from the Hereford United/Wrexham Welsh Cup game played at Edgar Street on Thursday April 18th 1963.

The Bulls won the game 2-1 with a crowd of 3354.

The programme published by the Hereford United Supporters Club cost 3d or just over 1p in today's money and was a 12 page issue.

At the time Mr Len Weston was chairman of Hereford United and Mr F.J Spiers was vice-chairman. Ray Daniels was Player/Manager.

Some of the advertisers included Weston Cider, the Sunday Express, Cafe Ascari and Wyelands Caravans.

The notes were written by F J Turner who was the secretary at Edgar Street.

"We shall no doubt start second favourites on the book but our boys are often in the humour to pull out all the stops when facing tough opposition.

"We can therefore look forward to a very entertaining game and hope that our boys can give us yet another of those welcome surprises."
