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…

22/10/1971: Adrian Whitbread
22/10/1965: Eamonn Collins
22/10/1962: Dave Leworthy
22/10/1990: Tom Kilbey
22/10/1980: Darel Russell

From the ed…

Plenty of birthdays, Collins and Leworthy I’m not familiar with but Whitbread, Kilbey and Russell I am and have ‘mixed’ memories of them all. Kilbey was meant to be ‘all that’ but he wasn’t was he! Last I heard he was going to be on the Only way is Essex of something and was playing in Malaysia?!

I quite liked him, didn’t like the way his short spell with us ended, but I’ll give the image to Russell as his two names combined make up the names of two of the three kids my parents had!

Another bad day, only 11-matches plated but more than 50% lost! 6 defeats with only 2 wins and 3 draws.

Only the one for me, the Doncaster win in 2011 when Varney got the majority of his goals for Pompey on one afternoon!

Have you taken in any of the games and have any memories?
