Bring back the good old days of the ‘youthie scene.’

Remember Clive Hill? There’s plenty people Buster’s age who certainly will!

Clive has given us an idea for the new year. Read more in the latest Life of Buster in Hartlepool Life … you can also read it below.

It’s been nice to have Hartlepool’s Premier League referee Tony Harrington in the First Team Physiotherapy clinic over the last few weeks.

He's an inspiration to all the young refs in the town coming through and hopefully there will be more who follow in the footsteps of Tony - but we need to lay off them a bit. Honest!

Buzzing to see my mate Nicky Featherstone back at Pools. Even though he should never have left in the first place, I’m glad to see he’s returned in a move that suits both parties.

Pools need him in that midfield and in the squad - for the reasons why I outlined back in August when he left.

He’s a true leader!

Take a look at this column I wrote in August for Hartlepool Life

‘I used to always call the rugby posts a goal! That was the level of my rugby knowledge.’

The latest Life of Buster column in Hartlepool Life looks at how things have changed.

Now, as the World Cup continues, First Team Physiotherapy is based at Rovers and also treats Old Boys and a few Seaton Carew players.

But it still blows our mind the mentality of some of those who just go out and play regardless of the injury.

Take Hartlepool Rovers F.C captain Steve Barnfield as an example. He has had every injury going. He is a club man through and through, puts the club before his own health!

The latest Life of Buster looks at how childcare can be the perfect way to keep grandparents feeling younger.

A certain Les Gallagher (aka Buster’s dad) can vouch for that - and there’s a few around town who know him!

Let us know what you think.

There is a fine line between taking the mick out of the grandparents by dropping childcare on them all the time and helping to keep them active.

But it can be great family time but they also have to make sure they are not knackered the next day. Childcare is definitely a way of keeping active, as everyone knows who has toddlers.

The Anthony Mancini hamstring injury was a massive blow to Pools.
I sympathise with the manager’s complaints about schedules too, just not fair what Pools were expected to do.

Here’s last week’s Life of Buster in Hartlepool Life - hopefully Antony Sweeney will be reading it 😉

As it was the first home game of the new season this weekend for Pools, Buster just wanted to pay tribute to Nicky Featherstone.

‘Feath’ has left now and Pools could have done with him again in the National League, but the memories are there forever.

Read the latest Life of Buster below or in this week’s Hartlepool Life.

“Nicky was a massive part of the promotion season in 2021 and there’s a picture of me and him in the dressing room at Bristol.
“He was with me the day we were relegated the first time around and he was with me on the day of promotion - tears on both days.”

We’ve had a blast this season at First Team Physiotherapy looking after the Hartlepool Sunday football League Come again next season. And a huge well done to Jonny Payne …

Latest Life of Buster is 👇

‘Jonny has proven himself to be an outstanding grassroots manager, not only on a Sunday but he also almost got Horden promoted to the Northern League First Division. I’m sure they’ll kick on next season.’

Good luck to Ritchie Humphreys, who will soon attempt to cycle around 500 miles over five days, approximately 23,000ft of climbing.
The charity bike ride starting June 23 is in memory of his dad, John, who passed away last year, and in aid of St Luke’s Hospice in Sheffield.

In Life of Buster, printed in Hartlepool Life this week, I remember a ‘little altercation’ Ritchie helped break up at the Vic!

His charity bike ride also reminds me of how hard we have to work to support our own hospice.

Let’s support Ritchie, show your appreciation for his efforts but let’s remember to help Alice House Hospice too. They both need all the help they can get.

Come on Pools!! Read this week’s Life of Buster column in the Hartlepool Life for some memories of other big days at the Vic when the Poolie pride has spurred the team on to victory.

And another occasion when players were left dangling over a river because of physio, Buster!

It’s a pleasure to strike a partnership with the town’s excellent Evolve CrossFit Hartlepool, linking up with some good friends.

At First Team Physiotherapy we aim to give people the best possible chance to exercise to help their physical and mental health. Evolve will now be assisting with that.

It’s an exciting time and thank you to David Manson, Matty Richardson, Janine Gilhespy, Karl Johnson and Andrew Taylor for teaming up with ‘the Town’s Physio’.
