== Starting Out ==
HITC Sport was created on October 24, 2014. Their first video currently available publicly is HITC: England fans back Harry Redknapp. The video was uploaded on October 11, 2016, nearly two years after the channel was created. In the video, Irish Guy first talks about the potential appointment of Harry Redknapp as the new manager for England national football team (which never happened). He then interviews some fans of the England team and see what they have to say about the new appointment.
At this time, only Irish Guy featured in the videos daily. In his next two videos, he continued to interview English fans about things. He asked English fans to relieve their worst moments and then to express their feelings about 'football politics'. After those three videos, he started to interview fans from football clubs located in England. He made two videos interviewing Leeds United F.C. fans, then interviewed Newcastle United F.C. fans about different topics for eight videos straight. He then interviewed Sunderland A.F.C. fans for four videos straight.
Irish Guy then went to interview fans of bigger clubs in England such as Manchester City F.C. and Liverpool F.C.. He then started making making videos that weren't him interviewing people and instead based off of his opinion. His first video based off of this was named HITC: How To Make Spurs Fans Happy In 60 Seconds At Arsenal & Chelsea's Expense. He went along with this style for about a week before making multiple videos interviewing fans of English clubs. He then started to continue making a little bit of opinion based videos and then stopped again to continue interviewing fans. After a little while of switching back and forth, Irish Guy permanently switched to making opinion based videos, rankings, lists, etc. He gained around a thousand views every day on his videos. 
When he started making the opinion based and ranking videos, he introduced James Rutherford. For a little while he featured in videos with Irish Guy, making Premier League preview videos in James' living room. Then the schedule changed, One day Irish Guy would make and upload a video, and the next day James would make and upload a video. Every other day, one of the two would make and upload the video to the channel.
On 14th March 2021, Irish Guy left the channel. Soon after he left, the channel rebranded as HITC Football. RevBoiii is know the host of the channel. The content also changed to mostly be video essays.
== The Rise ==
The rise of the channel would begin in around 2017, where James put a pause on making videos for Irish Guy for a bit. Videos with interesting titles began gaining tens of thousands of views per day.
== Series ==
HITC Football has many series they upload videos about. One of his their popular series on the channel, Football Origins, is a series where Irish Guy portrays history about a club with skits. After Irish Guy left, Football Origins was moved to Irish Guy's own channel. 
== The Fall ==
Following Irish Guy's departure, the channel lost many subscribers, with the sub count falling from 500,000 to 471,000 as of July 9, 2022. As of February 16, 2023, it has fallen further to 468,000.
