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.
14/10/1986: Tom Craddock
Happy birthday to Tom Craddock – the Pompey player from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Craddock is one most will recall but perhaps not with the greatest of fondness. Unfair? Maybe, maybe not but Craddock – injuries cannot be helped – didn’t really do much with Pompey during his time at Fratton Park did he?
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 12
Won – 5
Drawn – 2
Lost – 5
I can only claim the one game today, which isn’t going to change as I’m missing the visit to Fratton from MK Dons – the one I made was the win over West Ham in 2006 when Andy Cole scored one of his rare goals for the Blues.
What are your memories of Craddock from his Pompey days? Also have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories from them too?
