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.
20/11/1899: George Cooke
20/11/1947: Peter Mellor
Happy birthday to George Cooke and Peter Mellor – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Cooke is not only a name not known to me but also well before my time with Mellor one I know of by name alone, I didn’t see him as a player for Pompey.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 15
Won – 5
Drawn – 3
Lost – 7
Again I recall a good few of the games but not sure if I’ve been to a game or not? I think Leyton Orient at Fratton Park in 2012 was a defeat I went too but not entirely sure?
What are your memories of Cooke – obviously too soon for anyone – and/or Mellor 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?
