HARTLEPOOL UNITED
Hartlepool United Football Club are based in County Durham, and are probably most famous for being the first club to be managed by Brian Clough, and for being one of the clubs of ex-England great Peter Beardsley.
Hartlepool play at Victoria Park in Clarence Road, and their nicknames are the Monkey Hangers or Pools. The club was founded in 1908, and was elected to the Football League in 1921, as Hartlepools. Earlier, West Hartlepool had been winners of the then very prestigious FA Amateur Cup in 1905, and applied to join the Football League in the same year, but with Sunderland, Newcastle United, and Middlesbrough in the same area their application was rejected.
Hartlepool United's home colours are white shirt, with blue collar and cuffs, blue shorts, and white socks, and their away strip is red and black vertical striped shirts, black shorts and socks.
The ground capacity at Victoria Park (as of 2008/09 season) is 7, 691.
2002 saw Hartlepool United mascot "H'Angus the Monkey", aka Stuart Drummond, elected mayor of Hartlepool. His slogan of "free bananas for schoolchildren" may have clinched his re-election. An independent, Drummond has since aligned himself more with Labour in the council.
