Back in the days when shorts were short and the hair was long, Hereford pulled off one of the most memorable and played-back giant-killings in the FA Cup’s long history.
The non-league side’s win was the first against a top flight team since Yeovil had beaten Sunderland back in 1949.
The flimsy barriers on the edges of Edgar Street’s muddy pitch were unable to contain the sea of people – mostly parker wearing youngsters – from flooding the playing surface in celebration.
After the two sides had played out a 2-2 draw at St James’ Park, the replay was a tight affair until Malcolm MacDonald put Newcastle in front with just eight minutes of the game remaining, converting a cross with his head from Viv Busby.
On came Ricky George and Roger Griffiths to add fresh legs for the home side to chase the game and within three minutes Hereford were level. Radford played a one-two with Brian Owen, 30-yards out from goal and unleashed a piledriver of a shot to level the scores.
In extra-time George’s extra energy on a draining surface turned the match and in the first period of the 30 minutes he turned and shot to hand Hereford a lead they would never relinquish.
This picture captures the moment when Hereford’s cup dream had been revived by Radford (No 11) and the first of two pitch invasions by joyous fans on an afternoon that is burned in to the memory of those who were there that day or have watched the footage being replayed countless times.
And we want to hear your recollections of that day if you were at the ground, or can even spot yourself in the picture.
