"Pompey" ... Portsmouth Football Club --- (Soccer!!!)
This page is dedicated to all my boyhood footballing heros
In 1984, with Mike Neasom, the chief sports reporter of the Portsmouth 'NEWS'
and a friend, Doug Robinson, I co-authored the first complete full length history
of Portsmouth Football Club.
It covered the entire history from the start in 1898 to 1984.
The 1984 POMPEY book is now long out of print and has become a collectors item,
selling in the spacialist soccer book shops for £20.00 plus.
In 1996 an updated but slim version called The Definitive Pompey was issued.
This was pure statistic.
I should be pleased to hear from others with the same keen interest in Pompey,
with an emphasis on the club statistics and history.
Copies of the DEFINITIVE POMPEY are still available!!

Another chapter! From Saturday August 8th 1998, There was a weekly whole page feature about Pompey of the 'olden days' and was called "Centenary Memories". It was in the Portsmouth NEWS, newspaper, written by me!
and for the 1999/2000 season I updated the statistics in the Official Pompey Matchday Programme.
And my latest claim to fame,...????
