Peeeeeeeee-ortsmuff.....Pompey in a classic 1984

Pompey play Oxford United in the 2nd Division. Oxford lead 0-1 with minutes left. Then Biley springs into action. Notice how the atmosphere is generated from the terraces......lovely when you could stand!!!! Notice all the fencing because of the very real hooligan threat in this era...ENJOY

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........

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!

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!!!

@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.

[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!!
