Hartlepool United in the NFL

N.B.: this was created after many members of a Hartlepool United message board branded me as an American for my love of sports and the country in general - apparently it's illegal to like it.

Apologies for not posting more photos recently, but I've just got a job and a new house and I'll be moving soon. I'll try to get it back to normal soon, I promise!

N.B.: In this picture is David Hodgson, former manager of Hartlepool United's rivals Darlington, who said that he was "burning, burning with rage" after getting hammered 4-1 at Hartlepool in 2002. Not through any fault of his own team, seemingly - just Hartlepool.

N.B.: Eifion Williams was a player for Hartlepool United from 2002 to 2007. He also scored one of the greatest goals for Pools against local rivals Darlington in another fiercely contested derby - click here to see the clip (second goal of three).

NB: "Loid" is an informal term used by supporters of Hartlepool United to refer to rivals Darlington (shortened from "Darloid"). Given their last 8 games have been without a win (including a 3-2 loss to Dagenham and Redbridge after being 2-0 up), they have slipped from automatic promotion into the playoffs. To "bottle" something (as slang in Britain) is to throw away an opportunity through one's own actions, or to back out of something - hence the sign in the window.
