🔴🔵 700 FC FIRST TEAM GAMES — THANK YOU, JOHN! 🔴🔵 A fantastic milestone for John Ward, who reached his 700th FC Hartlepool First Team game on Saturday — and was back at it again last night for number 701! 👏⚽️ John has been there through the different chapters of our journey, from the Teesside League, through the Wearside League and now into the Northern League, covering the club and producing match reports along the way. His support, commitment and passion for FC Hartlepool over the years has been incredible, and people like John are a huge part of the story of our club. John summed up his journey perfectly: “Thanks to all the great people I have met during this journey, with some great memories — and nightmares! As we march on for the rest of another long season. Cheers.” And it’s not just the First Team — add another 133 junior games and John has now covered an incredible 834 FC games in total. 👏 From everyone at FC Hartlepool, thank you John for everything you’ve done and continue to do for FC. Here’s to plenty more games, reports and memories. 834 and counting… let’s make it 1,000, John — what do you say? 😉👏 Congratulations on an incredible milestone! 🔴🔵⚽️ #FCHartlepool #OneClub #UTFC #ClubLegend John Ward
