Late goal from Hilaire stopped the draw Pompey needed. They went up the next day when Oldham lost at Shrewsbury.
Wright or Bright wasn't it? Wasn't Hillaire, he was playing for us!

Funny, I've always seen it as Hilaire, but it was definitely a good youngster on the way up.
It was definitely a horrible ending to the afternoon
Was that the game that the "and Sainsburys" bit in "We will follow the Portsmouth", came from?... I seem to remember a lot of free sweets being shared out in the away end, during the early part of the match, after a pre-match visit by some of our "more enterprising" fans to a store near the Palace ground.
I think 'and Sainsburys' pre-dated that ... pretty sure I remember it from the 70's.
