This week John concludes his review of the career of Keith Houchen with tales of Pools being wound up and someone telling the playing squad, “You lot are the lowest of the low. You can’t get any further down than this poxy little club”. He’s clearly back on the drink as he also argues that the days of twenty consecutive games without a win weren’t all that bad! John also has suggestions for Father’s Day and Summer holiday clothing and reading materials – and all in support of HUST!

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.
