We’ve got reminders from Belle Vue in 2004 and another one at the Lynnfield Centre in 2008.
Who can you recognise among the youngsters at the Oscars playgroup in 2012?
We are racing back in time with 11 great sporting scenes from the Hartlepool Mail archives.
Take a look and then get in touch with your own memories.

2. Ready, steady walk at St Cuthbert's
