54/5 13 goals from 38 starts ( no subs in those days
55/6 5 21
56/7 13 39
57/8 13 38
44 136
He then was sold to Birmingham and returned much later, I agree that he shouldn’t be on my list, it’s nostalgia dulling my memory.
I don’t think your own stats do Johnny any justice, 10 goals in 800 games ??????
Wouldn’t 800 games make him Pompey’s all time record holder for appearances ? I thought that would be more likely to be Jimmy Dickinson (764) or Alan Knight (683 if it’s goalkeeping ), I confess I didn’t know anyone had made 800 appearances for Pompey ?
You are right. God knows whose stats I was looking at on Pompeyrama when I checked Johnny Gordons record, but he did score 105 in 443 league appearances so not too shabby for a midfielder.
Answering my own question ... it was still on Jimmy Dickinson (the default display on that site) and the 800+ includes cup games.
Apologies.
