League position: 8th Although some sources named Paul Smith as the goalscorer, Hartlepool United's official web site credited Graeme Lee. Captain Michael Barron is quoted as saying: “Smudger (Paul Smith) hit his shot really well – he reckons it would have gone in anyway. Spike (Graeme Lee) deflected it past their keeper – it was a deliberate deflection, I think it needed it to get the ball past the keeper.”
