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.

2/5/1962: Micky Quinn
2/5/1969: Tony Dobson
2/5/1985: David Nugent
2/5/1988: Stephen Henderson

From the Ed

Happy birthday to Micky Quinn, Tony Dobson, David Nugent and Stephen Henderson – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.

Few wouldn’t know of Quinn, be this from his playing days or radio broadcasting one, but I didn’t actually see him play. Well, not for Pompey anyway.

I did see a little of Dobson, plenty of Nugent and Henderson, who both had decent spells – Henderson’s loan return this season wasn’t one to recall mind – with the Blues really, the former after a difficult start, shall we say.

Now onto the games previously played.

Played – 18
Won – 7
Drawn – 4
Lost – 7

Literally nothing in the 18 played as we’ve won and lost the same amount, the others have ended in draws.

A hat trick of Fratton Park games today, but I’ve never seen a Pompey win. They include the draw with York in 2015, the visit of Norwich in 2011, which ended in a defeat and the 2009 loss against Arsenal.

What are your memories of Quinn, Dobson, Nugent and/or Henderson from their Pompey days? Also, have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories of them too?
