Who did you decide is Hartlepool United's greatest ever XI?

The club is about to enter a new chapter in its history. After the success of the early 2000s under IOR when Pools were regular promotion and play-off contenders, it’s gone downhill since – culminating in relegation from the Football League.

As they prepare for life in the National League under new boss Craig Harrison, with new owners, a new badge, new kits and a new outlook, we asked fans who deserves a place in the club’s greatest line-up.

We selected a shortlist of goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards and asked fans to pick a team in a 4-3-3 formation.

Here's how you voted...

Dimi Konstantopoulos
2003-2007
Appearances: 139.
The big Greek arrived on trial and left after promotion to League One and becoming a real hero at the Vic. His commanding presence and giant frame in the penalty area made life easy for defenders. His performance at Tranmere in the play-off semi-final, second-leg in 2005 is the stuff of legends.

Micky Barron
1996-2007
Appearances: 372
Goals: 4
Moved on loan initially from Middlesbrough, before arriving permanently months later. Starting as a sweeper in a back three, Barron became a reliable and honest centre-half, before moving to right-back. Captain and leader under Chris Turner, he was rewarded for a decade of playing service with a testimonial year. Become caretaker manager and first-team coach before being dumped in 2012 when John Hughes was sacked.

John MacPhail
1990-1995
Appearances: 196
Goals: 5
Signed by Cyril Knowles from top-flight Sunderland, the centre-half was just what Pools needed – strong, rugged and someone to organise the side from the back. Helped Pools to promotion in his first season and adapted seamlessly to the division above thanks to his experience and reading of the game. Cool under pressure, he was combative and never shirked a challenge.

Micky Nelson
2003-2009
Appearances: 306
Goals: 16
Signed from Bury, he scored a stunning 35-yard last-minute winner on his debut at Peterborough on the opening day of the 2003/4 season and never looked back. Formed a tremendous partnership with Chris Westwood, the defensive rock on which Pools success was formed. Always the dominant presence in defence, Nelson is still playing and has just signed a new deal with Barnet.

Rob McKinnon
1985-1992.
Appearances: 300
Goals: 7
An attacking left-back, who left Pools and went onto to play for Scotland. Signed after one outing for Newcastle, a 5-1 defeat at Tottenham, he developed into a cultured defender, courted by bigger clubs. Had trials with Manchester United and Leeds before leaving for Motherwell in 1992. Regularly ploughed forward, linking up well with Paul Dalton. Returned to Pools briefly on loan in 1997.

Brian Honour
1985-1996
Appearances: 384
Goals: 36
Admits he was never the most naturally gifted player, but what he lacked in natural ability he more than made up for in effort and honesty. Released by Darlington after 100 appearances, he was playing with Peterlee in the Northern League when Billy Horner snapped him up. He went onto become the crowd hero at the Vic, with his all action style on the flank. Scored the winner as Pools triumphed at Sunderland in 1987, and his two individual strikes at Maidstone in 1991 were sublime. Rewarded with a testimonial as his playing days were ended by knee problems.

Tommy Miller
1997-2001; 2014/15
Appearances: 171
Goals: 44
One of the club’s finest home-grown talents, made a name as part of a three-man central midfield with licence to attack. Top scorer in both 1999/2000 and 2000/2001, making the PFA team of the year on both occasions, he was rewarded with a £750,000 move to Ipswich. He returned to Pools in 2014/15, but missed the majority of the season through injury and made his 600th career appearance on the final day of the season as Pools completed their Great Escape.

Ritchie Humphreys
2001-2013
Appearances: 543
Goals: 37
All-time appearance holder, awarded a testimonial in 2011, voted the club’s player of the century. Signed by Turner in 2001, he made an astonishing 223 consecutive starts after signing. Netted the winning penalty in the shoot-out at Tranmere in the League One play-off of 2005. Started at Pools as a striker, but flourished in a deeper role, playing wide or creating in the middle.

Joe Allon
1988-1991; 1995-1997
Appearances: 194
Goals: 79
Signed for Pools from Swansea for £12,000. Top scorer in his first full season, he netted a club record 35 times (28 league) as Pools were promoted in 1991. Put his success down the coaching of Pop Robson. An ability to be in the right place, at the right time, Allon’s goals earned him a move to Chelsea in 1991. Returned to the Vic and a knee injury ended his career, but only after he netted the winning goal at Feethams to keep Pools in the Football League in 1996.

Joel Porter
2003-2009
Appearances: 209
Goals: 65
A fruitless trial at Sunderland saw him at Pools where he impressed boss Neale Cooper. A hesitancy to shoot was soon put to bed as he ran defences ragged and formed a silky partnership up front with Adam Boyd. Injuries pegged him back in 2006/7, but soon hit top form. He left Pools to return to Australia after netting 23 goals. Returned to the town as a guest of honour at the ten-year reunion of the 2005 play-off squad.

Adam Boyd
1999-2005; 2009-2012
Appearances: 273
Goals: 79
Hartlepool-born, his talent was noted before his breakthrough – and he scored the winning goal in the last minute of his debut. His inconsistency came to an end after Neale Cooper sent him on loan to Boston. He came back rejuvenated and focused, scoring 12 times in ten games to get Pools into the 2003/04 play-offs. Scored 29 times the following season, including a fantastic hat-trick against Sheffield Wednesday. After a knee injury, signed for Luton for £500,000 and returned to Pools in 2009.
