Another feature, again courtesy of our sister site PompeyRama, sees us look at those Pompey personalities – past or present – who have a birthday on this day.
13/10/1955: Richard Money
13/10/1976: Carl Robinson
13/10/1978: Markus Heikkinen
Happy birthday to Richard Money, Carl Robinson and Markus Heikkinen – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Money was before my time as a player for Pompey but I know of him from his time as a manager having come up against us a fair few times recent years.
I remember Robinson pretty well from the former Welsh internationals time with the Pompey but Heikkinen wasn’t someone that I saw much of, if anything of in all honest as a Blues player.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 11
Won – 6
Drawn – 1
Lost – 4
Yet again, not too many games played in the past 30 years or more – only one in that time period in fact.
However, I can claim one of the wins, which came at Fratton Park over Crewe in 2012.
What are your memories of Money, Robinson and/or Heikkinen from their Pompey days? Also have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories from them too?
