Hartlepool United legend Brian Honour is full of optimism as Pools gear up for the 2026/27 campaign.

Honour, who made 384 appearances for Pools and was appointed as the club's matchday ambassador last month, told The Monkey's Uncle he hadn't been as excited about a new season since his playing days.

Like a lot of Poolies, the former midfielder has good reason to feel optimistic following an exciting summer at Victoria Park.
