Why did Brian Cloughie used to call it Hartlepools?

I used to play for the Jolly Carter in the village circa 78 to /79 when we transferred from the Salford Sunday league to the Bolton Sunday league bottom division. We used to play against a team of  lads who went by the name of Hartlepools Utd. No idea which area of Bolton or pub they came from. Good lads as far as i can remember,  they used to get panned every week by a hatful but at least they would always turn out

Because the club was called Hartlepools United when he managed it.

The towns of Old Hartlepool and West Hartlepool were merged into Hartlepool in 1967, and the club changed its name accordingly, since it was no longer appealing to two distinct local authorities.

Clough left Hartlepools for Derby that same year.
