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…

26/10/1957: Keith Viney
26/10/1923: Garth Hudson

From the ed…

Only a couple of birthdays today, Viney I know of but played before my time so didn’t see in action, Hudson certainly before me.

Plenty of previous, 21-matches in the past have been played on this day but not a great one! 9 defeats, 7 wins and the last 5 drawn!

The one game for me previously, the 1-1 draw with Fulham on a Sunday afternoon game with this coming of course the day after Redknapp walked out on us for a second time late on the Saturday night before.

As he scored in that draw Crouch has the image.

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