BRIEF HISTORY of the HARTLEPOOL UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Hartlepool United Football Club are a football club based in Hartlepool, England. The club plays in
League Two, the fourth tier in the English football league system, since being relegated in the 2012–13
season. Hartlepool play their home games at Victoria Park, which is situated on the town's Clarence Road.
The club was founded in 1908 as Hartlepools United Football Athletic Company. Until 2007 their main local
rivals were Darlington, but that club entered into administration in 2012, and the local rivals are now
considered to be Carlisle United and York City.
Hartlepool is known for its association with Brian Clough who began his managerial career at the club in
1965 and is widely considered to be one of the greatest English football managers of all time. Under
Cyril Knowles' management the club won promotion to the Third Division in 1990. Hartlepool's greatest
moment occurred in 2005 when they narrowly missed promotion to The Championship. The club has received
media attention in recent years when the team mascot "H'Angus the Monkey" was elected mayor during the
2002 Hartlepool Council election. The club also receives vocal support from Jeff Stelling, the presenter
of Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday.
