The Shrewsbury manager, Gary Peters, has spoken warmly about his counterpart at Hereford in advance of the Cup-tie between the two clubs on Saturday.
"I've got a lot of time for Graham because he's a fella who runs the show from top to bottom at Hereford as chairman and manager so he's totally committed," said Peters as reported by the Shrewsbury Chronicle.
"He's one of the best managers Shrewsbury have ever had and if I can achieve half of what he achieved here, I'll be delighted.
"He took Shrewsbury into the second division - the Championship as it is now - and kept them there. That took some doing and was a great achievement."
