We have unearthed these brilliant photos from the prolonged Hartlepool United promotion party at the end of the 2002-03 season.
After promotion was confirmed by other results following a 4-0 defeat at Scunthorpe United, Victoria Park was packed for consecutive home games against Rochdale and Shrewsbury Town before Mike Newell’s side headed to Rushden and Diamonds for a final-day Division Three title decider.
Were you part of the party and can you spot yourself or anyone you know below?
33. For the fans
Thanks to loyal Hartlepool United fans for their continued support over the years. Photo: LH
