Agree with that...my favourite was Kit Napier...but each to his own...I do have an autographed picture of Fred Binney and proud to say I have had a drink with him. both were great goal scorers.

He's retired and travelling around the canals on a houseboat.

Surely houseboats don't travel?
Do you mean a narrowboat?
No good asking Steve Evans on board then.

Whatever.
Should be quite a spectacle. Which end has he put the outboard motor on?
Fred Binney: the team coach left him behind at the Old Den. He wanted to cadge a life back to the seaside, but our convoy (a van and two cars) was staying over night in London before the visit to Aldershot. A new kid on the block was rumoured and started down at Edgar Street, Hereford.
Bloody hell ! from that distance even I would have scored a few.

He did balloon a fair few to be honest too from 6 out.... One of my heroes too though...from a time when footballers carried a bit of weight and a dodgy tach.....glad he's still going.

Arrived at Hereford that day. Heard rumours about Fred being dropped for this new wonder kid ( who I knew very little about ) Supped a few ales before hand. Saw Fred outside the ground, sheepskin coat, approx. 2.30pm. Whatever possessed me to go up to Fred and ask him if he was playing, God only knows. Got the response I deserved.
Beginning of end for Fred. Beginning of a legend.
I went that day as well, stood in Hereford end. I was only 7 though....
Ha. We saw him outside the entrance too. We told him that we were hoping he'd score a couple and the dirty look he gave us told us everything

Loved Fred, was anti Ward when I heard he was deposing my hero - but soon changed my mind. Fickle things football fans!

Yes, I remember being shocked to hear Fred was dropped and the young upstart was playing. It only took about 50 seconds for me to change my mind...

Wasn't it in the home game against Hereford that season that he sustained an injury and returned with his head bandaged but still inspired us to victory? 4-2, as i recall?
Was at that game. Football special train from Brighton to Hereford. The new las did OK didn't he!

Yes, that's right: just consulted my diary for Saturday 6th December 1975, Fred scored after 7 minutes, got head patched at 20 minutes, fairer score would have been 8-1; other goals from Ian Mellor and two from Neil Martin while Dudley Tyler, in 2nd spell for Hereford after retirning from West Ham, scored their first.
