    Rain, Rain, Go Away! | The London Bulls Podcast Ep.34 with Alan Leighton

    Join Tom as he is joined by London Bull, and long time Hereford fan, Alan Leighton. There is a nursery rhyme that goes, 'Rain, Rain, Go Away. Come back again another day!' I'd rather it didn't return for some time! Of course Tom and Alan discuss the postponements, the pitch and the weather. Much praise to Ben Bowen who can't see to catch a break at the moment despite his very best efforts. We back you Ben! Both Tom and Alan look back at the only game in the last two weeks against Kings Lynn away and the real need to make the most of our opportunities and other teams not being at their best. They move onto the looking at the next few games, should they go ahead and Hereford's rather packed schedule for the rest of the season. 24 games in 3 months... As a result, more bodies needed and Alan and Tom look at where Paul Caddis needs to strengthen and where we need to cover for injuries. Most importantly however, Tom and Alan talk at length about the recent racist incdient at Merthyr away. They think back to Sporting Khalsa and the lessons that have and haven't been learnt since. With a changing world they and all of the London Bulls hope that the regression to past views can slow and stop quickly. There is no place for Racism and Tom, Alan and KD wish to thank all have sent messages of support to KD. But it doesn't stop here and if you feel you could benefit from educational documents, you can find links to some great resources below. Thanks for listening, and thanks to Alan for joining Tom!

    Toumani Diagouraga: Leaving Home, Promotion and Coaching | The London Bulls Podcast Ep.32

    Join KD and Tom as they chat to former Hereford United midfielder, Toumani Diagouraga!! Toumani talks about his early days of football in France before making the big move over to a new country with a language he couldn’t speak. He of course joined Watford where he turned from boy to man and following a couple of loan spells, eventually found his way to Hereford United. Initially coming on loan until January of the 2007/08 season, Toumani’s loan was extended until the end of the season with tricky winger Lionel Ainsworth going the other way. Toumani talks about just how good that promotion team was and how if they had been able to stick together, who knows what they could have achieved. Promotion was of course followed by relegation and Toumani’s departure at the end of the 2008/09 season to Peterborough and then Brentford where only a season earlier he had earned promotion with Hereford! Toumani talks us through his 7 years with the Bees where he tested himself in the championship and created some fantastic memories. Following moves to Leeds, Plymouth and Swindon amongst others, he found a new home at Morecambe. Described as a similar club to Hereford, Toumani enjoyed his time immensely and earned promotion. Third time the charm as Toumani finally won on his third visit to Wembley (hoping Hereford follow the same fate!!). Following a spell at Rochdale, Toumani had a decision to make. Carry on playing or go into coaching, he chose coaching and Middlesbrough where he is a youth coach and loving every minute of it. Toumani was an absolute pleasure to talk to and what a great career he had!!

    Marc Pugh: Self Belief, Eddie Howe & Football Foodie | The London Bulls Podcast Ep.31

    Join KD and Tom as they speak to former Hereford United winger Marc Pugh. Marc comes across as an incredibly nice and down to earth guy even when you consider that he made it all the way to the Premier League with Bournemouth.  KD and Tom start at the very beginning with Marc talking about his youth days signing for Burnley, the club that he supports and getting incredibly close to making his professional debut. Sadly for us Hereford fans, Marc went on loan to Kidderminster but it is a time that he remembers fondly and he learnt a lot in the conference. He then discusses just how he felt on being released by Steve Cottrell at Burnley. Marc had great self belief to continue on, eventually ending up at Shrewsbury which we won’t hold against him. Although it does feel like he was trying to taunt us Hereford fans! Then of course he went on loan to Hereford towards the end of the League One season. Then signing permanently for us at the start of our League Two season. Marc talks about how influential that period with Hereford was for him how he still has friends within that squad, his travel arrangements whilst at Hereford and the indescribable Tony Ford and his fantastic strength workout techniques. Marc was very impressed with how in shape Tony Ford was from a man of his age and regaled the boys with some fantastic stories about their time together.  Marc of course caught the eye of Bournemouth scoring against some three times in that League Two season so no wonder Eddie Howe wanted to sign him. We talk through the tribunal which Marc attended alongside the Bournemouth chairman and just how much he ended up going for.  We talk through the start of what turned out to be a nine year journey with Bournemouth from League One all the way up to the Premier League making his debut in his first ever Premier League season and scoring a couple of goals in that season.  KD and Tom quiz Marc on his favourite teammates, the toughest opponents that he faced and of course talking about what he does now. Marc is an advocate for eating well and in fact discussed throughout the podcast how much of a difference the right nutrition can make. The ‘Foodie Footballer’ as he is known on social media now goes into clubs and speaks to players and young players about what to eat and how to cook it.  Tom and KD would like to thank Marc for his time, for his fantastic stories and for telling us what Jason Tindall is really like.  You can follow Marc at the link below on social media to see what he’s up to now and to get some nutrition tips, he really is a top class guy. ------------------------------------ 00:00 - Intro 01:05 - Early Life 04:48 - Burnley, Kidderminster, Bury and Shrewsbury 17:45 - Hereford United 30:48 - AFC Bournemouth Years 56:20 - Hull City, QPR, Shrewsbury 01:07:35 - Foodie Footballer 01:12:31 - Quick Fire Questions 01:22:49 - Outro ------------------------------------ Give us a follow on social media: ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BullsofLondon/ ► X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ldnbulls ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ldnbulls/ ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ldnbulls ► Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/london-bulls-hereford-fc-supporters/ ► YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@LondonBulls Get in contact with us: ✉️ Email: londonbulls1924@gmail.com 🎧 Listen and Subscribe on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1yR2C0CXsnQcgXihCSsxvE?si=aa472e23d3584b7c Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-london-bulls-podcast/id1740085118 also available on other podcast services. 🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/londonbulls ------------------------------------ Hosts: Tom Gough, KD Rai Media: Jamie Klein ------------------------------------ The views stated in this podcast do not represent those of Hereford FC.

    Join KD and Tom as they chat to former Hereford United left back, Alex Jeannin! Alex talks about how he started out in football, his debut for his hometown club of Troyes and early days in the French Cup playing the likes of Monaco. Tom and KD move on to Alex’s time in England where he spent the majority of this career beginning at Darlington following a trial with Rotherham. The glamour of football hey! Alex eventually moves to Exeter City, a time he says he enjoyed immensely. Whilst at Exeter City, Alex is part of the team that took Manchester United to a replay. Alex talks about this experience and what it was like to play in front of almost 70,000 people in such an iconic setting.The conversation then moves on to Alex moving to the right club, Hereford United!! Alex talks us through that first season which culminated in Hereford reaching the playoff final and being promoted. Alex talks about scoring against his former club, Exeter, and how vital that win was in ensuring Hereford made the playoffs and got promoted. Then the playoff final itself, the feeling when we won and of course the celebrations!! Other good nights out were had following games, with Saxtys and a few stories getting a good mention all these years on! Alex spoke about a lack of game time and that he needed to leave Hereford despite wanting to stay on due to his love for the club, the fans and the city. After a couple of clubs, Alex eventually retired and we talk about what he has done since. Still in football, Alex is now a scout for Red Star Belgrade for France, Belgium and Holland having previously had roles at PSG and Olympique Lyonnais. Alex often comes back to Hereford and we hope to see him at a game in the near future! We also mentioned that if he knows a striker looking for a club to send him Hereford’s way!

    Winston White: I never wanted to win so badly!

    A man with almost 200 appearances for the Bulls, the first black player to play for Leicester City, and a true inspiration on and off the pitch, we were honoured to be joined by ex-Hereford United player, Winston White! Winston takes us right back to where it all began – stealing his brother’s football boots just so he could put something on his feet to play football. It's a story underpinned by incredible mentality and resilience, spanning a fantastic career with Leicester City, Hereford United, Bury, Burnley, and even a spell in Hong Kong. We ask Winston about the famous 1979 Len Cantello Testimonial, a match that fielded a team of black players against white players. Winston shares what that groundbreaking match at The Hawthorns meant to him personally and what it represented for the future of black footballers in the UK. Of course, we couldn't let him go without reminiscing about his four incredible years at Hereford United, covering the 1981 Welsh Cup Final, the FA Cup 4th Round tie against his old club Leicester in 1982, and his pride at returning to West Bromwich Albion. Finally, Winston tells us about his work today with the Professional Soccer Scouts Association (PSSA) and wishes the Bulls all the best for the season. This is one you don't want to miss! Enjoy!
