Peter Isaac receives Freedom of the City

[Hereford Voice]

Today, Peter Isaac was given Honorary Freedom of the City.

For his dedication to Hereford United Football Club as a player and later Caretaker Manager, and for his continued support for the club, Peter Isaac was conferred Freedom of the City of Hereford, the most honourable distinction that is within the power of the City Council to bestow.

Peter Isaac, born William Henry Isaac in 1935, has a long and storied career. He served with thirteen managers; Joe Wade, Ray Daniel, Bob Dennison, John Charles, Colin Addison, John Sillett, Tony Ford, Mike Bailey, Frank Lord, Tommy Hughes, John Newman, Ian Bowyer and Greg Downs. He completed over 30 seasons at Edgar Street, and clocked up an impressive total of 353 appearances.

 

Now 90 years of age, Peter continues to support the club he served.

The conferring of the title ‘Honorary Freeman’ is the highest that the Council of a City can bestow. Hereford City Council may admit “persons of distinction and persons who have in the opinion of the Council, rendered eminent services to the City”, as Honorary Freemen.
