Another feature, again courtesy of PompeyRama, sees us look at those Pompey personalities – past or present – who have a birthday on this day.
9/5/1911: John Symon
9/5/1939: William Atkins
9/5/1961: Trevor Roberts
Happy birthday to John Symon, William Atkins and Trevor Roberts – the Pompey players from the Blues’ past born on this day.
Symon, Atkins and Roberts all both before my time, I cannot say to know anything about them either.
Now onto the games previously played.
Played – 5
Won – 0
Drawn – 0
Lost – 5
Yes, few games played today, but what an awful day as we’ve never won a game. In fact we’ve lost them all.
We’ve only played a handful of games, but I can actually claim three. A defeat at Goodison Park against Everton, in 2010, as we ended our Premier League stay and another away game, at Blackburn saw us slip to defeat at Ewood Park. Finally was 2009’s loss at Fratton Park against Bolton.
What are your memories of Symon – too early for anyone, Atkins – potentially too early – and/or Roberts 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?
