Ever thought Pompey had a great player?
Ever thought a Pompey player had had an outstanding performance?
I’m sure you have and I’m sure we all have our own thoughts and memories about Pompey’s greatest and each of our views may be different to the next
But what about the opposition ?
Have you ever admired a player for the opposition or perhaps gone to Fratton in anticipation of seeing a great performance by a superstar on the opposing team only to be let down.
Well we at Vital Pompey want your thoughts.
We want to hear about the opposition players who have impressed you and those who reputation has left you disappointed.
We’ve provided some names to get you thinking but would welcome many many more… and if we get enough we can collate an ‘All Time Opposition XI’ who inspired and an ‘All Time Opposition XI’ who did not – The only stipulation is that they must have played at Fratton Park for the opposition.
Here’s a couple of examples of those that have impressed.
Mark Hughes for Chelsea when he scored in the cup …
Thierry Henry on the occasion he ‘wore the shirt’..
Ronaldinho just for that pure cameo display for AC Milan …
Bruce Grobbelaar back in 1980 before he was known when playing for Crewe on loan from Vancouver Whitecaps.
Stanley Matthews in 1963 when he was 48 and still magical. Stoke went on to win promotion.
Ryan Giggs inspired Hat-trick for Rooney in 2009 (2 x pens) and the way Giggs himself curled a 20-yard free-kick into the bottom corner of Begovic’s net.
Gazza in the Cup when he was at Spurs.
Here’s a few examples of those that didn’t.
Ronaldo for Man Utd when he got sent off.
Kaka for AC Milan – We didn’t know he was on the pitch .
Torres first season at Liverpool … Anonymous.
