[gnorty]

:) great match.

Did you deliberately time the video at 6:57?

[leetaw]

great days i was in the fratton end and when we scored the second goal i had my glasses rip of my face and was lucky to find them in one piece afterwoulds.

[Frankiti99]

classic pitch

[oasis4ever92]

alan knight, still the best keeper I've ever seen that never played for england

[vaseline611]

jesus, i remember that game well, although being a o u f c lad in the away end, it was a classic with santa coming on the pitch and holding the game up for 3 mins, with biley scoring the 2 goals in santa's added time to the loudest roar of a winner i've ever heard in 36 years of watching footie!!

[Wiitoo]

Wow this brought the memories back - no seats lots more atmosphere.

[danielmaycock9]

Alan Biley Cambridge Hero

[aaronthomasa]

6:13 hesky bak in the day up to his old teicks ahahaha

[kerrykop]

Fratton Park, wow. Hard to believe there was 22,000 fans there, sounded like 60,000. Iv never heard the Pompey chimes sounding that good.

[jomtiem]

proper ground, proper fans, proper footie....o u f c

[PompeyEngland]

love the quality of the pitch and the tackles that'd get you booked today that don't even get a free kick :P PUP

[adventussaxonum]

I got the wrong end of the stick.I saw "Pompey in 1984 classic"-last minute stuff,and I thought it was referring to Steve Moran!!

[sdgsdgsdgsd3]

is this Martin tyler commtating?

[derbbus]

The big match atmosphere and the capacity is being generated from the terraces all right.

22,000 ??????

I always suspected there was a few thousand more in those days.

(Faulty turnstiles lol).

[thependragon81]

You only have to look at the terraces to see what potential Pompey had when there was a decent capacity at FP.

[danjsy]

5:25 the kid behind Alan Ball has some sort of attack.

[Justinchess]

I was at this game, at the away end. What the highlights miss out is that Santa Claus came onto the pitch in the second half - and it was during the time added on for this that Biley scored the winner.

[KaitainCPS]

Transpired later than Alan Biley had put in the transfer request because he'd been caught sleeping with other player's wives.

[FattiveNelson]

@KaitainCPS He would have fit in with a modern day Chelsea

[luciendelapeste]

Cracking stuff.

I remember seeing Biley play for Cambridge United in a 2nd Div. game against Newcastle at the Abbey Stadium.

Same day my club (Spurs - glory hunter indeed!) shipped seven at Anfield.

I miss those days.

[Coverly]

ROFL - The insults I've had to endure about playing in League One with a -10 point start & come September the Skates will be playing in the Ryman Premier!

:-)

[silvercow74]

How much for the likes of 'Yosser ' Tait, Biley, Webb, Rafferty, Alan Rogers, Hilaire, Noel Blake these days. Humble days, but good times.

[frase13]

allan ball southampton legend RIP

[jamieh1979]

Alan Ball - Pompey Legend - RIP

[DoctorScrumpy]

Part of our 111 year history being pissed away by those Arab cunts

[makinmenervous]

i think i speak for all true footbal fans when i say that it will be a tragedy when a famous and historic club like yours goes under...

but it will be worth it just for the look on that idiot's face, you know the bell ringer with comedy dreads who named himself: portsmouth leeroy primus fc, or some other embarassing shite. yah, anything that upsets people like that is nothing but good.

[pompeyloyall]

proper Fratton Park Roooooooaaar

Play Up Pompey!!

[dinom236]

It is still one of the greatest games I have ever seen at Fratton Park and this is still the best team I have ever seen play for Pompey, even with all the players we have had in the Premier League.

The little boy behind Alan Ball is his son Jimmy.

[jomtiem]

[MattyD7293]

Play up Pompey!

[syncropair]

Classic game, we were in the Fratton End and when the second goal went in my mates trainer came off when the crowd went wild and jumping around. We never did find it and he had a soaking wet foot by the time we got home. PUP........

[pete1201]

Yes know the feeling....I was on the North Terrace with my mates.......jumping up and down.. At the end of the game my mate found £20 on the floor. I soon realised I had lost £100 during the goal celebration!! Luckily we looked and found it buried in the ticker tape!!!!! Oh for the days of terracing and going fucking mental!

[PlayUpPompey12]

[DoctorScrumpy]

God bless Santa !

[ROUFCSCCCA]

come on you yellows

[Loftier]

I was living in Havant at this time and often popped down to Fratton Park to watch Pompey. If I recall, Portsmouth missed out on promotion to Oxford, Birmingham and Man City. I think Biley left for Brighton at the end of that season. Did they get promoted the following season?

[pete1201]

Yes they did miss out on promotion, I think you are right that they went up the following season and had a real miserable time of it.........lasting just 1 season!!!

[10Duser]

@pete1201 Season after that. 84/85 we missed out on Goal Difference (I think), the next season - 85/86 by 3 points (to Wimbledon?) - then finally went up (and they changed it to only 2 teams going up as well) in 86/87 - 2nd to Derby IIRC. Yep, Biley went to Brighton for something like £45,000. And Hateley went at the end of this season here to Milan for £915,000.

[Spentastic]

I was 3 years old living in Ventnor IOW in 1984. My dad is a Spurs 'fan'/glory hunter,, but who have I followed since 1993(after moving to Australia in 1986)? PFC innit... :)

[pop4art]

that was amazing cheers

[FarmingtonMarshes]

I was on the North Terrace/Milton End corner. When the winner went in I have never seen such madness and climbing of the railings to goad the Oxford fans. Happy days. Best ever finish to a Pompey game. Santa is a Pompey fan.

[wannasaysummit]

bloody oxford game should have been dead and buried
