I love any highlights of us at home that season. I was the ballboy behind the goal at the away end and on TV every other week.
Highlights include a pink dildo narrowly missing my head that was thrown from Pompey fans in the upper tier, and a young girl & her dad (Tranmere) almost reducing me to tears with constant abuse for 120 minutes. 
Oh, and throwing it to Youri or Jay Jay for every corner throughout the season.

Meldrews youngest got that spot, a few years later

just been thinking about this, that's a fair old lob.

Has anyone else on here thrown a dildo further than that?

Funnier still, a steward came rushing to report the dildo with a walkie-talkie:-

“Er. We’ve had a pink object thrown...”

It was a fair-old throw. Would’ve knocked me out for sure. Almost made a dent in the back of the advertising boards as it bounced off.

Not forgetting relegating Leeds either. They didn’t half turn on Viduka when he got sent off.

Karma for making a racket during Eddie Hopkinson’s minutes silence. Absolute lowlife.

I've just watched the full itv show, of the worthy v Ipswich goal

Turns out it was also nowaks debut

They started the show with interviews with three fans

Fuck me, we have always managed to put our thickos in front of the cameras

 

As an aside, Worthington scored one of the best goals ever seen, against a defence made up of three England defenders and a quality Scottish right back, watched by Greenwood

He was top scorer in the league

And still no England call up

He was due to sign for Dallas tornado the following day

I've seen that too. A couple of them interviewees looked like they'd been dug out of the cemetery that morning and stood up in front o a camera.

Frank going to the USA was what did for us in the end. He came back with a different attitude that August.

Haha

Never did sign for Dallas

Went to Philadelphia that year

LA following year and like you said, was late back and seemed to be the beginning of the end

Didn't he sign for Brum to team up with Whatmore?

He signed for Brum but we had Whatmore long after he'd left. We never even attempted to replace Frank. It was Gowling and Whatmore up front with Chris Thompson and Mike Carter thrown in.

We never seem to cash in on a player.  If that was now someone like Everton or Villa would pay £15mil for a guaranteed 15 goals plus a season, even if he only had 2 or 3 years left at the top level.  Our top players just seem to leave out of the back door with no fanfare.  Not comparing the 2 as players but not dissimilar to the way ALF left, slipping away without the fee he's worth.  If both those players had been at Wigan or Burnley they'd have funded half the squad for the next 6 months on the transfer fee (plenty more examples).

Thanks. Yes I was a journo ... not for 20 years now though! Although I still write for a living most of the time (PR). Funny how I can remember lots about a game against Preston in 1989. Ask me about anything from about 2009 onwards and I'll really struggle!

Enjoyed that. I remember being at the game too. Towards the end of 98/99 and the indifferent results we suffered due to being poor defensively. As I recall Bristol City had a bit of a cavalry charge towards the end but for once we held out.

Yes we seemed to be limping to the line at this stage.

Bolton v West Brom 1999

 

A slightly rotund Fabian De Freitas scoring a cracker against us , and Bob Taylor doing likewise against his former club.

Saw an interview with De Freitas after he played in that legends game. Said something along the lines of:-

“It was nice as I’ve never played here before”

Surely you’d remember scoring that goal against your old club in their new stadium  😂 

Edit: Found it at 1:40. Said he’d never scored there. 

That was around the time when he missed kick off, because he was sleeping and thought it was an evening game when playing for West Brom though.

Thanks for that , the legends day was brilliant .

Another 2 former players with a lot of praise for the club , I love to see that.

You would have thought he would have remembered such a goal , unless he was just being polite by not mentioning it.
