1951 Mansfield Town 1-0 Pools
1956 Pools 1-0 Rochdale
Pools followed up their excellent win at Chesterfield with a hard-fought victory against Rochdale at the Vic. George Luke ended a personal mini-drought with the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.
1962 Doncaster Rovers 2-2 Pools
1969 Pools 1-1 Gillingham
A Terry Bell goal ended Pools` five match losing streak, but with games running out a home draw against fellow strugglers Gillingham had to be seen as an opportunity missed.
1971 Southend United 2-0 Pools
1972 Newport County 0-2 Pools
1973 Crewe Alexandra 2-0 Pools
1975 Pools 0-3 Exeter City
1976 Pools 1-3 Crewe Alexandra

1982 Pools 0-0 Tranmere Rovers
1984 Pools 0-1 Swindon Town
1990 Pools 2-1 Rochdale
2001 Darlington 1-1 Pools
A stunning performance from Darlington goalkeeper Andy Collett meant that Pools had to settle for a 1-1 draw for the fourth match in a row. Collett produced a string of blinding saves to keep out Chris Turner`s promotion chasers and almost inspired his side to victory. When the keeper was finally beaten it was from the most unlikely of sources, with Darren Knowles registering only his second (and last) goal for the club.
2006 Pools 3-1 Huddersfield Town
In arguably their best performance of the season, Pools beat a strong Huddersfield side to ease the pressure a little at the bottom of the League One table. Adam Boyd opened the scoring with his last goal before his transfer to Luton in the summer, while Joel Porter announced his return from long-term injury with the decisive third. But the goal of the night was scored by Michael Maidens with a stunning 30 yard curler into the top left corner. The goal was later voted the club`s best of the 2005/06 season and was the only one that Maidens scored for the first team before his tragic death in 2007.
2009 Stockport County 2-1 Pools
