Saturday 4th December 1965.

Programme notes for the FA Cup 2nd round match against Millwall. HUFC were a Southern League team and Millwall were four points clear at the top of the old Third Division.

Good Afternoon Everybody,

Today we extend a special welcome to the Millwall players, officials and supporters, and look forward to an entertaining match.

Our friends from London who won promotion last season when they finished runners-up in the Fourth Division, are once again enjoying a highly successful campaign and are clear leaders at the top of the Third Division at present. Needless to say they have not got there by luck and it has taken hard work and skill to win their way to the top of the table.

I can vouch for the fact that manager Bill Gray has welded around him an efficient and well-drilled combination, having seen them in action at York and against Oxford during the last fortnight. But they are not unbeatable and if every Hereford United supporter here today gives us sufficient vocal encouragement I am sure we will give our Football League guests a run for their money.

In the past we have pulled off quite a few giant-killing acts and given the run of the green and a few lucky breaks we can do it again this afternoon. I know I can count on the players giving everything they have got and it will not be for the want of trying on their part if we fail in our bid for a third round place when the draw is made on Monday.

Before signing off I would like to congratulate the team on their fine 5-2 win against Chelmsford last Saturday. I was at Millwall at the time but from all reports I have received we played really well. Let’s hope for a repeat performance this afternoon!
