Gavin in the Premiership

West Ham defeated Preston this afternoon at Cardiff and so take the remaining place in the Premiership next season.

Gavin Williams, assuming he keeps his place in the Hammers squad, will be the first ex-Hereford United player to play in the top English Division for some years.

His rise is a tribute to Graham Turner who set the Welshman on his way to the top.

Meanwhile Danny Bacon, the Hucknall striker, has signed a one year deal with Lincoln City. Speculation in some quarters suggested a possible link with Hereford United but there has not been any official conformation of this.
