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.
25/4/1925 Jimmy Dickinson
Happy birthday to Jimmy Dickinson – the Pompey player from the Blues’ past born on this day.
The legendary Dickinson was before my time so I didn’t see his involvement as player or manager at Pompey, but who doesn’t know of the great man!
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 13
Won – 4
Drawn – 2
Lost – 7
Not many games, but it hasn’t been a very good day as over half of them have been lost with only four win.
It’s a day I can recall most of the games in the past 20-30 years, but not one where I’ve managed to take in a game at all.
What are your memories of Dickinson from his Pompey days? Also, have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories of them too?
