Legendary FA Cup goalscorer Ronnie Radford has died at the age of 79
"We are devastated to hear of Ronnie’s passing, and wish to extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this very sad time," read the statement.
Radford and Ricky George in the dressing room after their goals gave Hereford a shock 2-1 win in 1972."His mild manner, and friendly and modest approach to life epitomised the man he was and he was always delighted to visit Edgar Street, to meet up with past teammates and watch the present day team in action.
He spent three years with the club and will always be synonymous with one of the greatest shocks in FA Cup history when, after the Bulls had earned a replay against the Magpies at Edgar Street following a 2-2 draw on Tyneside, he played a pivotal role in a famous victory. The Magpies paid their own tribute to a man whose most famous goal brings shudders to the spines of their older supporters when footage is inevitably aired on third round day each year.
