Thinking on a different line, why is Hartlepool one word. Surely it should be Hart le Pool…it’s obviously a French influence from Robert de Brus who got given the land after the Normsn’s invaded.
Yup related to Robert the Bruce.
It used to be called Herterpol…sounds like Interpol. :laugh:

Yes surprised we haven't attracted more French players over the years, trying to think of any others than Mancini who have worn the blue and white?

A quick look at ITMC reveals Mo Sylla, Gime Toure and Mikael Mandron in the last few years, all decent on their day.

Surely they can overlook it, after all we’ve forgiven the German’s for the bombardment,………. haven’t we. bbolt

Julian Cheryl (maybe incorrect spelling) but played against Oldham i believe we won the game and was his only appearance.
