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.
09/02/1903: Daniel McPhail
Happy birthday to Daniel McPhail – the Pompey player from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Quite clearly the fact he was born in 1903 means McPhail was before my time – as he will be anyone else – with him a player I know nothing about to be honest.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 15
Won – 3
Drawn – 5
Lost – 7
Another of those days where I recall a good few of the games played but can only claim the one. I was at Fratton Park for the draw with Sunderland in 2010.
What are your memories of McPhail – clearly no one would have seen him play – from his Pompey days? Also have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories from them too?
