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.
5/3/1928: Jimmy Elder
5/3/1935: John McClelland
5/3/1988: Trevor Carson
Happy birthday to Jimmy Elder, John McClelland and Trevor Carson – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Elder and McClelland were both before my time – and that of most I would think – but I do recall Carson well from the goalkeepers loan spell with Pompey.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 16
Won – 6
Drawn – 3
Lost – 7
Can claim the one today; the win at Fratton Park against Sheffield United in 2011.
What are your memories Elder, McClelland – probably both too early for anyone – and/or Carson 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?
