.......brilliant hot cross.......( from Harry Bunn) 
John Charles.......one of the greats for Hereford United playing over 170 times for the club and still scoring despite having the challenge of being a player manager for most of his time at the club. We were in the Southern League at the time and he was certainly influential in getting crowds into Edgar Street and the eventual rise to a Football League place.
He had a relaxed approach to the management side and when Ronnie Radford ( of "that goal" fame!) asked at his first game where Charles wanted him to play he got the reply... " are you a midfielder ?" which Radford said yes to, so Charles replied...... " play in midfield then" !
