Legend Passed away: A legend Ronald Radford from Hereford who scored one of the most well-known goals in FA Cup history is honored. Let’s see how he died and Ronald Radford cause of death

How did Ronald Radford die?

The legendary FA Cup player Ronnie Radford, who scored an unforgettable goal for Hereford United against Newcastle in 1972, has passed away at the age of 79.

For his spectacular long-range goal against the Magpies that helped ensure a giant killing as they triumphed 2-1, Radford—who also played for Leeds United, Cheltenham Town, and Newport County—will go down an FA Cup legend. Hereford, where he previously played, acknowledged his passing in a statement posted on their official website.

It said, “We are deeply saddened to learn of Ronnie’s demise and wish to offer our sincere sympathies to his family and friends at this extremely sad time.” “Ronnie” has kept Hereford on the football map since 1972 and is not simply a part of the legend of Hereford United.

His demeanor, friendliness, and modest style of living summed up the kind of man he was. He always looked forward to going to Edgar Street to see old friends and see the current team in action. We at Edgar Street will always hold Ronnie dear to our hearts, not just at FA Cup moments, but always, and celebrate him and his significant contribution to bringing Hereford United to the forefront of the nation’s attention with that goal and being a member of that team.

“We shall continue to carry your spirit.” Ronnie, rest in peace.

Radford’s celebration of victory

As soon as Radford blasted the ball from 30 yards out, he knew it was going in, as he noted in the Sun’s Goals pullout from January 26, 2009. “Long before the ball ever touched the back of the net, I was racing away with my palms raised.

The ball sat up for me, and I connected with it flawlessly, similar to a flawless golf drive or a six off the center of the bat in cricket.

On Match of the Day in 1972, it was the goal of the week, then the goal of the season. “I’ve talked about that moment a lot over the last 37 years, but I still get just as excited remembering it today as I did when I raised my arms in celebration.

Who was Ronald Radford?

Ronald Radford, an English footballer who played from 12 July 1943 to 2 November 2022, is best remembered for his amazing goal for Hereford United against Newcastle United in the 1971–1972 FA Cup.

Radford, who was raised in South Elmsall, West Riding of Yorkshire, began his football career at Sheffield Wednesday and then moved on to Leeds United, but he never played for either team’s first team. 

Even though he was only a part-time football player, working during the week as a joiner, he joined Cheltenham Town, where he was a constant during the 1963–1964 season.

Before moving back to Whaddon Road in 1966, he spent one season at Rugby Town. 

In 1969, Newport County paid £1,500 to get him, and in his debut campaign, the fans chose him as their Player of the Year. 

While playing at Newport, Radford beat Bradford Park Avenue with a shot from the edge of the box that sailed into the top corner. 

Years later, Radford stated in an interview that he thought the objective was just as admirable as his most well-known endeavor.

Radford eventually moved to a club closer to home due to the physical and financial burden of traveling to and from Newport. 

Hereford United was the organization. 

When the Hereford club embarked on an extraordinary cup run from the Fourth Qualifying Round to the Fourth Round Proper, Radford was a regular in the middle for the team. 

Hereford faced Newcastle United in the third round at St. James’ Park, where the part-time team came away with a 2-2 tie despite taking an early lead.
