Watching the cricket tonight a mate of mine reminded me that not only is the pools manager younger than me but all the current players are too. Despite this being a depressing thought, it did generate a game to pass the time.

As such, who is the last Hartlepool player who was older than you? I’m May 1983, so mine is the slight depressing Rob jones (November 1979) from 2016/17.

It must of been around the turn of this century, when I suddenly realised there didn't seem to be no one playing who was born in 1965 or before. It does cause concern at the time , but you soon get over it. To answer your question, I would say as a rough guess, Neil Aspin.

The last one older than me is Dave Robson, born 05/10/66, I was born 12/10/66. He made 1 appearance for us. The one before that was Rob McKinnon, born in July 1966.

I think it was about 8 years ago, maybe Eifion Williams?

Same Dave.

If only we had signed Neal Bishop

Paul Baker from 1998 in his 2nd stint at Pools.
The sort of forward we could do with now.

last one older than me retired in the 60,s.
