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.

28/12/1962: Andy Perry
28/12/1980: Lomana LuaLua
28/12/1981: Danny Webber

From the Ed



Happy birthday to Andy Perry, Lomana LuaLua and Danny Webber – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.

Perry isn’t someone I can say I remember at all to be honest. However, I think LuaLua should be someone that most of us recall? If it wasn’t from his trademark celebration – or how frustrating he could sometimes be – it would be for his goals in that demolition of the lot done the road that time, I four-one will never forget the game where that said celebration resulted in him being forced off in the end.

As for Webber, I remember him too but we definitely didn’t see the best of him at Fratton Park.

Now onto the games previously played.

Played – 27
Won – 8
Drawn – 12
Lost – 7

I recall loads of the games played on this day but can only claim the most recent – a draw with Luton at Fratton in 2015. Cannot recall much about the game itself though, maybe it was a drab goalless draw?

What are your memories of Perry, LuaLua and Webber from their Pompey days? Also have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories from them too?
