The Football Team With One Of The Longest Losing Streaks In Sport Just Won A Game

    Hyde FC just made it one victory in 30 games.

    This is Ewen Fields, the home of Hyde FC. The Greater Manchester side play in the Skrill Premier, the fifth tier of English football. They have not had a very good season.

    They are rooted to the bottom of the table with just seven points.

    There is a Twitter account dedicated to telling the world if Hyde have won.

    Their last league victory was back in April 2013. But that all changed last night when Hyde finally - FINALLY - won a game, winning 2-0 away at Welling United.

    14th January 2014. Remember the date. History was made. Welling 0-2 Hyde. The Great Escape starts now. WE ARE STAYING UP! #believe

    Goals from Louis almond and Connor Hughes sealed the victory...

    AND THE CROWD WENT WILD!

    Some fans' responses were entirely proportionate.

    I'm calling my kid Hyde FC. @hydefclive

    The club's unlucky antics have achieved cult status, with Soccer Saturday's Jeff Stelling taking up their cause on air.

    They are very cheeky on Twitter and have 30,000 followers - putting it in the top 30 most-followed football club accounts in England.

    Dave Lee Travis, Bill Roache and Rolf Harris have all thanked @hydefclive for diverting press attention away from them tonight. #tigerlove

    They tweet the kind of thing you don't get from Manchester United and Chelsea.

    Just text the missus tell her get her sexy gear on I'm on my way home love #tonightsthenight

    They have political backing too.

    @hydefclive @StellingJeff As soon as we win I'm going to find a way to mention it in the House of Commons #27thtimelucky

    So after 23 defeats, four draws and 72 goals conceded, one of the longest losing streaks in sport is over. Could the turn in form be divine intervention?

    Get to the ground today and the car park is littered with fish is it a sign from god ?

    Stay classy, Hyde.

    Big sky over Ewen Fields @hydefclive
