Johnny Gordon

at wembley on tuesday evening so setting themselves pretty well for those final two fixtures in november we'll come on to talk about later how pompey's international representatives have got them over the course of the last few weeks or so but first let's take a quick look back at what's been happening on this day in blues history and we begin by going all the way back Saturday the 9th of October 1954, Peter Harris became the first Pompey player to score four goals in a match after the war as his side thrashed Sheffield United 6-2 at Fratton Park.

Pompey's other goals were both scored by Johnny Gordon.

On Saturday the 9th of October 1971, John Milken saved a twice-taken penalty from Preston North End's Hugh McIlwain during a one-all draw at Fratton Park.

The Preston striker equalised after Mike Treblecock had put the Blues ahead with a brilliant shot.
