Radford was a regular in the Hereford midfield and was part of the team that went on an incredible cup run, from the Fourth Qualifying Round to the Fourth Round Proper. Įventually the financial and physical strain of travelling to and from Newport led to Radford moving to a club closer to home. Years later Radford said in an interview that he believed that goal was equally as good a goal as his most famous effort. While at Newport Radford scored a volley from the edge of the box against Bradford Park Avenue, which flew into the top corner. Newport County then paid £1,500 for him in 1969, and in his first season he was voted Player of the Year by the supporters. He spent one season at Rugby Town before returning to Whaddon Road in 1966. He joined Cheltenham Town where he was an ever-present in the 1963–64 season, even though he was only a part-time footballer working during the week as a joiner.
