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.
5/11/1898: James Tumelty
5/11/1905: John Weddle
Happy birthday to James Tumelty and John Weddle – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Weddle and Tumelty were not only well before my time but before that of anyone, again neither are known to me too.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 17
Won – 6
Drawn – 6
Lost – 5
Just the one for me today, the impressive 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest at Fratton Park. This saw Erik Huseklepp have his best game for us, probably? He certainly scored a really good goal in the game if I recall.
What are your memories of Tumelty and/or Weddle – clearly too soon for anyone – 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?
