Hartlepool United host National League North side Marine on Saturday in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.

Hartlepool United host National League North side Marine on Saturday afternoon in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round. Victory will secure the club a place in the first round draw, which includes League One and Two sides.

Head coach Pete Wild is a strong advocate for the competition. In 2019, as caretaker manager of Oldham Athletic, he led the League Two side to an upset 1–0 victory over Premier League Fulham at Craven Cottage in only his third game in charge. A late goal from Callum Lang secured the win. 'The FA Cup got me a career,' Wild told BBC Radio Tees. 'One game got me a career.'

Wild had been working with Oldham's youth team before being called up to replace Frankie Bunn. After the victory over Fulham, he went on to manage Halifax Town, Barrow, Fleetwood Town and Tranmere Rovers before joining Hartlepool. He has described the FA Cup as 'the best competition in the world', saying it can start careers and create opportunities for big away days for fans.
