For those of you who remember Ron Parrott's book "Hereford United - The League Era", Ron and his team have been writing and planning its successor "Hereford United - The Wilderness Years" and their intent is to publish it when United regain their league status, hopefully at the end of this season. If the unthinkable happens then it will be shelved again until next season.
It will be written in the same style as the previous one and will contain the same high statistical level of content.
Also, alongside this, Ron has been working on a much more ambitious project - the complete history of Hereford United. This has already been in the making for about five years and has proved to be incredibly time-consuming. Thanks to the efforts of Hereford Times Sports Reporter Richard Prime, Ron has managed to get every first-team line-up since the club was founded in 1924, an incredible achievement indeed!
The book will be a very large one, A4 format in the style of the old Christmas football annuals. It will be a match by match, season by season story of events on and off the field at Edgar Street and will be interspersed with loads of photographs and a complete "who's who?" of post-war players to have turned out for United.
Ron is making no predictions yet on an eventual publishing date because there is still a "mountain of work" to do and he has to mix it in with his other mountain, his hobby of mountaineering and ambition to climb all of the 284 "Munros" in Scotland (mountains over 3,000 feet in height) and as at today, he still has 66 more to do.
