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.
22/4/1894: William Beedie
22/4/1963: Scott McGarvey
22/4/1968: Lee Sandford
22/4/1971: Steve Soley
22/4/1974: Darren Moore
Happy birthday to William Beedie, Scott McGarvey, Lee Sandford, Steve Soley and Darren Moore.
Beedie was before my time and not someone I know of either. I do know McGarvey and Sandford well enough, but cannot recall actually seeing them in action? However, Soley and Moore, definitely Bruno, are players I recall very well from their time with the Blues and saw play on plenty of occasions.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 21
Won – 7
Drawn – 5
Lost – 9
Well, another pretty disappointing day really with fewer wins than defeats, which occur almost 50% of the time.
A blank day for me as I could not make it to Fratton Park for victory over Cambridge in 2017, thankfully I was at Notts County on Monday though so celebrated our promotion from League Two on that day.
What are your memories of Beedie – clearly too early, McGarvey, Sandford, Soley and/or Moore from their Pompey days? Also, have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories of them too?
PLAY UP POMPEY
