The most famous person to be associated with Hartlepool United is Brian Clough, who went on to achieve managerial glory with Derby County and to an even greater degree Nottingham Forest. He began his managerial career at Hartlepool in October 1965 before moving on to Derby two seasons later.
Another famous ex-manager is Cyril Knowles, who took over as manager in December 1989 and the following season helped them win promotion to the Third Division.
Hartlepool were also managed by former Northern Ireland international Danny Wilson. Wilson joined the club in June 2006 after leaving MK Dons and led the team to promotion in his first season in charge. Wilson was dismissed in December 2008 with team performances failing to reach expectations.
