Hereford United spent many years as a non league football club and just before they gained promotion in to the football league, they met Newcastle United in the third round of the FA Cup and shocked the entire Britain by defeating the top flight club 2-1. Their debut season in the football league was a resounding success for United as they finished off in second position in the fourth division, earning promotion to the third division in time for the 1973 – 1974 campaign. The ultimate success came in 1976 as they earned promotion to the second division and only remained in the tier for one season. They fell back into the fourth division in 1978 and have remained in the bottom two divisions of the football league ever since.
