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…

27/10/1948: Roger Davidson
27/10/1978: Jhon Viafara

From the ed…

A couple of birthdays again today, Davidson before my time but remember a little about Viafara, who of course went on to play for ‘them’ didn’t he! Think he was a little unlucky not to get more of a chance at Fratton?

Far from a favourite but I’ll use him as image today!

15-matches only played previously but we’ve won more than anything else with 6 wins to 5 defeats with the final 3 drawn.

Only the Stoke win in the league cup for me, remember that one well and thought I was at West Ham in 2007 but not sure…

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