SCOTT HARRISON feels keeping Hartlepool United in the Football League will be the biggest achievement of the season.

Pools looked dead and buried a month ago, but four successive wins have taken them out of the bottom two and up to third bottom.

Harrison netted a spectacular winner against Cambridge, thumping in a second-half volley to make it 12 points from 12 and put the pressure on others.

And the centre-half admitted: "This would be the greatest escape of the lot.

"From where we were a few weeks back to where we are now, it has been an unbelievable turnaround.

"The teams above us, they have not been where we have been and now two of them are in there.

"We are out of it and they might not be able to deal with it in the way that we did.

"Hopefully they won't.’’

He moved on loan from Sunderland 12 months ago to end last season with Pools, returned for another temporary three-month period and then signed permanently in January.

Scoring his first goal in such style was some way to mark a year at Victoria Park.

"I didn't really get involved at Sunderland, I was more reserves,’’ added Harrison. "Now I am totally involved and it is my life as well.

"It means a lot more here, than it did there.

"It was my first ever goal and I can’t remember too much about it!

"It hit my and then landed perfectly for me to hit it, I just went for it and the ball flew in.

"I have played up front a couple of times for previous clubs.

"In training they are always screaming at me to get back because I am always wandering off up front!’’
