Hereford United's Graham Turner is one of three people proposed to be given the freedom of the city assuming the council ratify the idea on April 20th according to the BBC.
Clive Richards CBE, Graham Turner and Major James Hereford will be honoured at separate ceremonies in the summer, Hereford City Council said.
Hereford United would not have survived in the Football League without Mr Turner's "total commitment" to the club as manager and chairman, the spokesman added.
Councillor Sylvia Daniels, Mayor of Hereford, said: "I am delighted that the council has decided to honour these three men, who in very different ways have each made a lasting and important contribution to the city and its people."
