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.
27/4/1961 Rob Hindmarch
Happy birthday to Rob Hindmarch – the Pompey player from the Blues’ past born on this day.
I know of the name, but Hindmarch was before my time so I didn’t see him play for Pompey at all.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 16
Won – 3
Drawn – 3
Lost – 10
Woeful day once again for Pompey as a huge amount of games played have ended in defeat, 10 in fact. The other six have been split between wins and defeats.
I have memories of plenty of games from this day and can claim two, Shrewsbury in 2013, when Pompey were beaten at Fratton Park along with the 2008 visit of Blackburn, which also ended in defeat for the Blues.
What are your memories of Hindmarch 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?
