On This Day

May 11th
1991
Going Up, Going Up, Going Up...
35 goal Joe Allon is mobbed by supporters. Pools clinched promotion with a thrilling last day victory against Northampton Town. Alan Murray's men had began the day in fifth place but goals from Paul Dalton, Joe Allon and Paul Baker were enough to secure third division football for the first time in over 20 years.
