Adam Boyd made an immediate impact when he made his Pools debut aged 19, within minutes of coming on as a substitute he scored the winning goal against Shrewsbury.

Despite an undoubted talent, Boyd failed to hold down a regular place in the Hartlepool team and looked set to leave the club in 2004 after a loan spell at Boston United. The Pilgrims were unable to stump up a transfer fee and the deal fell through.

On his return to Victoria Park he scored 12 goals in 10 games to fire Pools into the play-offs. Boyd featured even more heavily the next season, scoring 29 goals as Pools reached the play-off final in Cardiff.

An injury ruled him out of large parts of the following season and he was sold to Luton Town in the summer of 2006 for £500,000.

After a disappointing spell with Luton he moved to Leyton Orient and finished top scorer twice before sealing a dream move back to Victoria Park in May 2009.
