Later Career
After bowing out of the cup to West Ham United, Hereford eventually finished runners-up and were elected to the Football League. Radford stayed at Hereford until July 1974 when he became player-manager at nearby Worcester City. He later played for Bath City and Forest Green Rovers but an Achilles tendon injury ended his playing career. He moved back to Yorkshire to continue his work as a carpenter and joiner, having been a part-time footballer for much of his career.
In 2002 his goal against Newcastle was voted 97th in the 100 Greatest Sporting Moments.
