A scarce 'cabinet' card of Arthur Egerton Knight – these postcard-size portraits could be sent away for in exchange for 25 of the smaller cards which were issued in packets of Godfrey Phillips' Pinnace brand cigarettes between 1920-1923. #Pompey #PompeyHistory

I managed to find my yellow Scoreline #Pompey replica away shirt last night. Trying to remember matches I went to when we wore this shirt – pretty sure Chelsea away in the League Cup but can't find any pics– I watched the game from The Shed with a Chelsea-supporting mate.

A sticker of #Pompey winger Mark Chamberlain (1988-1994 198 appearances, 22 goals), from the Orbis Football Sticker album which was released in 1990/91. I loved this away shirt and still have one somewhere – I'll see if I can dig it out. #PompeyHistory
