Shrewsbury Town move to a new ground at the start of next season, but Turner is a Gay Meadow legend if ever there was one. He guided unfashionable Shrewsbury to the FA Cup quarter-finals in both 1979 and 1982 - and may still have his wish as hard-working Hereford secured a deserved draw and will go into the Edgar Street replay on Tuesday week as favourites to book a place in round two.
Town boss Gary Peters had added his own tribute to Turner before the game, saying: "He's one of the best managers Shrewsbury have ever had and if I can achieve half of what he achieved here, I'll be delighted."
Town undoubtedly had their chances to win this entertaining encounter and will point to two first-half efforts that rebounded off the woodwork when putting forward their case for winning the game.
Despite being dominant for long periods of the match, the Shrews were unable to find a breakthrough and it will be of some concern to them that they have been held to a goalless draw for the third Saturday in succession.
In his 100th game in charge of Shrewsbury, Peters saw his team once again play some entertaining, attractive football and although Hereford were often under pressure, particularly in the first half, once more the home side pressed and pressed yet that all important, confidence boosting goal proved elusive.
At a sunny, but cold and windswept Gay Meadow, the visitors saw two early chances for Tim Sills go begging, but it was Shrewsbury who went closest to opening the scoring.
They were denied by the crossbar on 13 minutes when a frantic goalmouth scramble saw Gavin Cowan and Stewart Drummond both trying to force the ball home from close range, before Hereford were able to clear the danger.
As the half unfolded, Hereford let another good opportunity go to waste when Alan Connell failed to convert after a mix-up in the Shrewsbury defence, however at the other end Shrews striker Derek Asamoah headed wide when unmarked at the far post.
But only inches prevented Shrewsbury from going ahead on 38 minutes. An intricate move created a shooting opportunity for midfielder Drummond - and from 15 yards he saw his powerful strike crash against the underside of the bar and rebound to safety with keeper Wayne Brown well beaten.
After the break, Shrewsbury still held the upper hand with Ben Davies and Drummond again trying their luck, but without testing Hereford goalkeeper Brown and by the time Davies forced Brown into a save with 11 minutes left, a draw was already beginning to look the most likely outcome.
After winning at Edgar Street already this term in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Shrewsbury will not be lacking in confidence for the replay, but may come to rue another Saturday afternoon when they fail to turn possession into goals.
For the Bulls, cheered on by well over 1,000 travelling fans, it was another strong performance, coming on the back of three successive victories in League Two.
The result was more notable due for the fact that Turner's side were shorn of the services of loan midfielders John Eustace and Neil MacKenzie.
