Rick you're spot on there about Richie owning the Fish & Chip Shop.
Really top guy with a canon ball shot on him as I remember.
71/72 was my first season and even today I remember the shot he scored with when we beat Fulham 6-3. I couldn't believe you could hit a football so hard!
Over the years the memories have dimmed (plus some have been forgotten so I don't have to relive the horrors!), but there are still a few standout moments from when I started going to watch Pompey. I found a box of programmes from that era in the attic last year and funnily enough Richie Reynolds and Ray Hiron featured more than most.
