Must have been there 5 or 6 times with Pompey, though many of those are forgotten in the midst of time.
Best memory was in April 1980. Was midweek, Pompey were 2-0 down and hadn't won away in the league since the autumn. We fought back to win 3-2 then went on a great run to clinch promotion on the final day at Northampton.
Remember the home game just before Christmas, played with an orange ball in the snow. Drew 2-2 which was disappointing as we had been flying at Fratton that season.
Other than those two, have very few memories of games against Port Vale other than one up there in mid-winter when for some bizarre reason I was wearing shorts!
