    Yes, didn't Pompey Milan sell them as well to some fairly minted folks?

    Kevin Davies has hung his boots up. Not a bad career after being noticed by us.

    I can still just visualise him playing a cracking game for Chesterfield in the FA Cup against PL opposition, and he stood out from his teammates. Great player.

    Middlesbrough FA Cup Semi-Final. lost in extra time and I think having a goal disallowed that should have stood. He scored a cracking goal in that cup run and then scored a similar one for us away to Everton. I'll always remember the winner at The Dell against Manure too - thanks Kev.

    I believe he was unfulfilled potential. Yes, he had a long career at the top, but he left us too soon for Blackburn, had a poor time there and came back. By then his confidence was rocked. I felt during his first stint that he could have been really, really big. Another one who left us too soon. I also think WGS didn't use him correctly either and he had a sour ending... (Stories of being pissed on cup final day because he was left out the match day squad)

    I've always had a soft spot for him.

    Anyone see the football league highlights of pompey's game, that's four seconds I'll never get back. Seriously, 4 seconds at most!

    Where was that.? I'm happy to donate 4 seconds to their cause. Maybe even 5.

    Another of those 'when they were noticed' - I remember Paul Jones in goal for Stockport at the Dell against us in the cup. We either drew, then lost the replay, or lost this game (can't quite recall) but Matty wellied a free kick from it must have been 30-35 yards straight toward the top corner. Jones pulled off a stunning, almost impossible fingertip save.

    So we bought him.

    And Dave Jones was managing them for that game if I remember correctly (which would be a first!)

    You are correct. Jones signed the other two when he came to Saints.

    We basically "did a Liverpool" with Stockport - manager and all!

    Can't deny that we've done a similar thing with Ronald, having got most of his staff [plus Erwin and Sammy] along with Graziano and, eventually, Jordy.

    Peterborough sack their manager after losing to Southend. Wonder who'll go in there? Graham Westley is out of work...
