    6. When England were at war with France a french ship was shipwrecked off the coast of Hartlepool and the only survivor was the ships pet monkey which the locals though was a frenchman having never seen one before..i think there was a trial and the monkey was found guilty of being a french spy and hung, hence the term monkey hangers and why they have a monkey as a mascot

    No, stop mis-reading wikipedia or whatever it is : - )

    West Hartlepool was a different club

    The answer is
    1908 - 1968 Hartlepools United
    1968 - 1977 Hartlepool
    1977 - date Hartlepool United

    Still need to get Waggott's other league club

    Workington dropped out of the league in 1977. How old do think Steve is?

    No, it's not them.

    It's a current Premier League club

    If he is in his mid 50s and was on the books as a teenager then we are talking early / mid seventies so entirely feasible.
