BRIEF HISTORY of the HEREFORD UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Hereford United Football Club was an English association football club based in the city of Hereford
that last played in the Southern League Premier Division, the seventh tier of English football.
Founded in 1924, the club was elected to the Football League in 1972, and spent 31 seasons in the
League in two spells, 25 of them in the fourth tier. The club reached the old Second Division in
1976, its best league performance, but was relegated after only one season at that level. Hereford
achieved national prominence in 1972 when, as a Southern League club, they knocked top-flight
Newcastle United out of the FA Cup.
Hereford played at Edgar Street for their entire history. They were nicknamed 'The Whites' or
'The Lilywhites', after their predominantly white kit, or 'The Bulls' after the Hereford cattle
breed. The club's motto was "Our greatest glory lies not in never having fallen, but in rising
when we fall". The club was affiliated to the Herefordshire County FA. On 19 December 2014, the
club was wound up in the High Court after a petition had been brought against it by HM Revenue
and Customs. Following the demise of United, a new 'phoenix club' was being set up, Hereford F.C..
The new club incorporates the words 'Forever United' into its crest design, as well as the iconic
Hereford Bull.
