National Football Shirt Day arrives in the UK on November 19 and it is a chance for people to wear their favourite shirt while donating to Cancer Research.
To get you in the mood for the big day, we delved in to the Hartlepool Mail archives to find these scenes from Rift House, West View, and Ward Jackson Primary Schools as well as plenty of others.
So let’s get ready to cheer on the memories with a look back at these football strip scenes.
1. Super at Seaburn Dene

3. A star signing

4. So appealing in 2011
