Here are the results of the May 2019 HUST Lottery draw which took place at the Corner Flag at 19:00 on 31st May 2019.

This week John continues with his Summer Quiz and provides some further highlights from the career of Keith Houchen. And how about this for a back-handed compliment? On 22 March 1984, York City manager Denis Smith signed him for a £15,000 fee, later saying that “anybody who could score sixty-five goals playing for Hartlepool must have something”.

This week John quickly passes over the retained list, Eurovision and the goings on surrounding Coventry City and the Ricoh Stadium, and focuses on his Summer Quiz. He seems to get carried away about one former player – someone whose nephew could be useful to the town and the club – shame that his Uncle Keith doesn’t have fond memories of us!

John has clearly calmed down after his Notts County efforts last week and we see him continuing with his Summer Quiz and talking about a former Pools Centre Forward who tried to teach him Maths – and failed.

Thank you to all of the members who have continued to renew their support for HUST over the past couple of months. We note that we have a large number of members due for renewal on the 1st of June and we very much value as many as possible continuing their membership of HUST.

Getting some closed season withdrawal symptoms and want to refresh your memory of Pools seasons gone by? HUST now have a range of match day programmes available.
