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.
21/2/1908: George Ross
21/2/1933: Cyril Rutter
21/2/1992: Gauthier Mahoto
Happy birthday to George Ross, Cyril Rutter and Gauthier Mahoto – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Ross and Rutter were well before my time but I do recall Mahoto. Well, at least I remember him by name, but not sure if Mahoto actually played a first team game during his time at Fratton Park or not? If he did I may well have seen him.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 14
Won – 7
Drawn – 3
Lost – 4
As we’ve not had a home game since the mid 1990s I draw a blank today but do recall most of the recent games.
What are your memories of Ross, Rutter – Ross definitely and Rutter probably before anyone reading – and/or Mahoto 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?
