Hartlepool United Football Club ( ) is an English football team currently playing in League One. The team won promotion to League One in the 2006 � 07 season. Hartlepool play their home games at Victoria Park, which is situated on Clarence Road in the town.

The most famous person to be associated with Hartlepool United is Brian Clough, who went on to achieve managerial glory with Derby County and to an even greater degree Nottingham Forest. He began his managerial career at Hartlepool in October 1965 before moving on to Derby two seasons later.

Another famous ex-manager is Cyril Knowles, who took over as manager in December 1989 and the following season helped them win promotion to the Third Division.

Hartlepool were also managed by former Northern Ireland international Danny Wilson. Wilson joined the club in June 2006 after leaving MK Dons and led the team to promotion in his first season in charge. Wilson was dismissed in December 2008 with team performances failing to reach expectations.

Their main local rivals are considered by some to be the non-league side Darlington F.C. Geographically, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Newcastle United would also be considered as rivals but because Hartlepool have never been in the same division as any of these teams their meetings in a competitive match are rare. The most recent one was Sunderland winning 1 � 0 in the FA Cup Third Round at The Stadium of Light (2003 � 04 season). The club famously staged a Middlesbrough game in the 1986 � 87 season after Boro had been locked out of their own ground, Ayresome Park, by the bailiffs.

Sitting in fifth and sixth place respectively, Swindon and Hartlepool go into the last game of the season both requiring a draw to confirm their play-off place - and though most predict a dull no-score draw, a fluke from Sammy Igoe puts the Town one up. With Swindon on top in the first half, Hartlepool come out all guns blazing for the second - when they equalise with twenty minutes remaining, the remainder of the game sees the strange sight of both sides keeping the ball to hold onto the point they both need.

Every Goal from the Southampton 10/11 Season. After a roller-coaster season last year Saints finished just outside the playoff and won the Johnstones's Paint Trophy and the fans were hoping for an equally as promising season. However after the first 6 games saints sat 22nd in league one and looked like they were heading to league 2. Then along came Nigel Adkins who became Southampton's 16th manger in 10 years. He over saw the comeback that lifted saints from 22nd up to 2nd and secured automation to the Championship. Music By Hamstercake Ester Dean
