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.
18/1/1946: Nicky Jennings
Happy birthday to Nicky Jennings – the Pompey player from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Jennings was a player before my time but heard many a positive story about him from various people I have travelled with over the year.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 16
Won – 6
Drawn – 6
Lost – 4
I can claim the last couple of games. The most recent draw with Mansfield at Fratton Park in 2014 and the draw at White Hart Lane against Spurs in 2009 as David Nugent got one over Harry Redknapp, well, kind of.
What are your memories of Jennings 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?
