We are talking about 1997 and it’s the year under the spotlight in our retro look at Hartlepool and East Durham.
Closer to home, Joe Allon was celebrating a goal for Pools against their fiercest rivals Darlington and we had school scenes from Dyke House and Ward Jackson Primary School.
But the question is … what were you doing back then? What are your recollections of 1997?
Take a look through our archive selection and see if it jogs some memories.
