The man who scored the most famous goal in FA Cup history has passed away.
In the third round of the 1972 FA Cup, Radford scored a 30-yard first-time shot on a muddy pitch to help non-league Hereford United beat top-flightNewcastle United.
"Ronnie is not just a part of Hereford United folklore; he is a part of football history," said Hereford.
We will always keepRonnie in our thoughts.
The game was played in front of a packed house on February 5, 1972, and Malcolm Macdonald's goal in the 83rd minute was the difference.
Three minutes later, he won back possession and played a one-two before he scored the game-winning goal.
Since 1949, no non-league club has defeated a top-flight side.
He earned his apprenticeship as a joiner while playing for the amateur team. He played in the youth team with other players.
John Charles was one of the people who signed him.
His goal launched the career of one of football's best-known broadcasters, John Motson, who became synonymous with the goal.
That's a great goal!" It was a goal. The crowd is invading the pitch.
There's more to come.
