Beating Crystal Palace in 1993 saw Pools become the first lower division club to knock a Premier League side out of the FA Cup. The ‘unquestionable penalty’ and ‘not particularly cold for Hartlepool’ weather are now the stuff of legend. Three players from that game give us the full story!

HUST’s key aims include promoting Hartlepool United as a community centric Football Club. We help Pools celebrate and promote the diversity of our wider community in many ways and a new section of our website will keep you updated.

Following our AGM in late December 2021, we are now able and happy to confirm our board for 2022, including newly defined roles, new chair person and an additional board member. 

Today, by naming a few of the Pools players who served, and outlining some details of their lives, we pay our respects and reflect on the horror of war.

For Black History Month, Ed Parkinson, on behalf of the Hartlepool United Supporters’ Trust, reflects on the contribution of four iconic black players to represent Pools over the years.
