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…

20/3/1968: Paul Merson
20/3/1959: Dave Beasant
20/3/1956: Peter Ellis
20/3/1946: Brian Bromley

From the ed: 4th day in a row now with more wins than defeats, you could get used to this!

The last three, home wins over Birmingham and Hull – think Hull was the game when O’Hara scored a beauty of a freekick? Also the Norwich away in 1999.

Can you claim to have been in attendance for any of these games, if so share your thoughts below on any stories you have…
