In 1955 when Noel Watkin was in charge of the Herefordshire County Boys. That season they played seventeen, won ten and drew four, there was something about the side, they were a delight to work with and had a great team bond, so when the County fixtures were through, the team asked if they could stay together as a youth side . . . and Pegasus Juniors were born !

They were christened by Ted Woodriffe who took the name from the seniors amatuer side of the era Pegasus, containing selection of Oxford and CambridgeUndergraduates.

Coached by Vic Buckingham who later himself went on to win a FA Cup medal with West Bromich Albion. The team were renowned for their fairplay and boasted a record of not gaining any red or yellow cards . . . they were an example to follow.

Pegasus grew from strength to strength and travelled Europe playing against the best teams in Belgium including Royal F.C Brugges, many famous names graced Pegasus as Vice Presidents reading more like a programme from the Palladium -Norman Wisdom, Frankie Vaughan, Petula Clark, Dave King, and Alma Cogan, they all took great interest in the success of the club.

The club bond was a magical thing, it brought many different communities together, everyone worked for their neighbour and this was reflected in the field of play.

Pegasus played and won many big fixtures, however one game that Pegasus lost was to Aston Villa due to an on form Ron Atkinson who netted 6 goals that day !

It was inevitable that players would move on to higher grades of football and many did that with distinction. Noel himself finally left after eight years and moved to the Isle of Wight, however Pegasus Juniors original members Jack Perks and Bob Pasley remained, they proudly gained membership into the Hellenic League and established a club house in Hereford.

Pegasus Juniors were formed because a squad of players wanted to develop together and believed that they could be successful. There was such an affinity to play for the club, players would travel miles just to wear the shirt.

The original team were not only successful but won respect on and off the pitch, the teams belief came from their strong friendships and passion for football, this brought the community together.
