John Askey will return to his former club, backed by a sold-out away following, where he will hope to experience a similar result to that of the last Hartlepool team to face York away from home in the league back in 2015.
Pools came from behind to defeat the Minstermen 2-1 under Ronnie Moore back at the beginning of the 2015-16 campaign – a scoreline they would back up in the return fixture at Victoria Park.
And here we take a look back at who featured for Pools at Bootham Crescent that day in August 2015:

Oates will be remembered more fondly for his second stint when his impressive form helped fire Pools to promotion in 2021. (Photo by Mark Runnacles/Getty Images) Photo: Mark Runnacles
14. Brad Walker
Walker was the third substitute in the win over York. The Billingham-born man spent six years with Pools making over 100 appearances before leaving in 2017. Walker was linked with a move back to Pools earlier in 2023. (Photo by Pete Norton/Getty Images) Photo: Pete Norton
