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…
14/5/1977: Brian Priske
14/5/1984: Hassan Yebda
14/5/1987: Franck Songo’o
Happy birthday to Brian Priske, Hassan Yebda and Franck Songo’o – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.
I recall Priske and Yebda very well, seeing both in action several times.
Songo’o, for whatever reason, never made the grade at Fratton Park, well, anywhere really despite his Barcelona background – long-term readers will know I always had high hopes for him. His brother plays for Plymouth.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 3
Won – 2
Drawn – 0
Lost – 1
Only three games again today, but 2 wins and 1 defeat means it’s been a pretty good day.
In fact, given we celebrated with them, the defeat against West Brom in 2005 – I cannot claim I was at the game as I wasn’t – makes a good day a great day. Not even you celebrate a Pompey defeat is it, the two wins before my days of watching, one before I was born even.
What are your memories of Priske, Yebda and/or Songo’o 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?
