Hereford United Football Club are an English professional football club based in the city of Hereford. They were founded in 1924 and currently play in League Two, the fourth tier of English football. Originally elected to the Football League in 1972, they reached the old Second Division by 1976 but spent the majority of their first Football League spell in the bottom division. They were relegated to the Conference on the final day of the 1996-97 season, but regained their Football League status at the end of the 2005-06 season after winning the 2006 Conference Playoff Final.
Hereford have won relatively few honours in their history, the most recent silverware being the 1976 Third Division Championship and the 1990 Welsh Cup, in addition to the Conference play-off trophy. They became synonymous with giant-killing in the FA Cup after their memorable defeat of Newcastle United, in the 1971-72 FA Cup whilst still a Southern League team. Hereford have played at Edgar Street for their entire history and are nicknamed 'The Whites', after their predominantly white kit, and the 'The Bulls' after the local breed of cattle. The club's motto is "Our greatest glory lies not in never having fallen, but rising when we fall".
The club is managed by Graham Turner, the second longest-serving manager in the top four divisions of English football, who has since become chairman and director of football after joining in 1995. Turner took control of the club in 1998 when the club was in dire financial straits, steering the club away from near-extinction and back into the Football League.
