This weekend brought a fantastic buzz around Grayfields Enclosure as FC Hartlepool teamed up with Club Legends for our first-ever official photo shoot weekend — a celebration of the players, coaches, and volunteers who make our club what it is.

Across two busy days, more than 24 teams and an incredible 247 players took part, from our youngest Little Kickers to our senior squads. The Club Legends crew transformed our home ground into a mini studio, capturing both individual portraits and team photos that truly reflect the pride, passion, and togetherness that run through FC Hartlepool.

For many of our junior players, it was their first official club photo — a moment filled with smiles, excitement, and a few proud parents snapping behind the scenes. These images will not only serve as brilliant keepsakes but will also help us refresh our club’s media presence, giving us up-to-date photos for our website, social media, and future matchday programmes.

But more than that, the weekend was about celebrating community spirit. From players laughing between takes to coaches helping keep sessions running smoothly, it was a reminder that FC Hartlepool is about far more than football — it’s about people, connection, and shared pride in wearing the badge.

Every junior player who took part was also entered into a £50 Club Legends voucher draw, adding a bit of extra excitement to the weekend.

A huge thank you goes to all 247 players, the parents, and volunteers who made the event run like clockwork, and to the Club Legends team for their professionalism and passion throughout.

We can’t wait to share the final photos once they’re ready — so keep an eye on our website and social channels over the next few weeks to see the amazing results from what truly was a picture-perfect weekend at Grayfields.
