78/79 was my first Pompey season. I was too young to know the hardship that the club had gone through a few years earlier. All I saw was a team that I thought could never lose - at home anyway.
I'm going to sound like one of the four yorkshire men in that Monty Python sketch but my Dad would have to get us in the ground by 1pm at the latest to get a standing position. We were so exciting to watch and all the players looked like rock starrs. I thought it was amazing and looking back it was a cracking year to start watching Pompey.
Imagine your first Pompey season being Richie Barker!
Ball, Campbell & Burrows all now gone. Such a shame.
