Ah the pin point cross field pass, by Bob.
Why didn't we just pretend to have TV cameras at every game.

yes agreed, at the time he was one of our better players though
Get out of it. Your memory is playing tricks my friend. Lightweight was an understatement, obvious to most who saw him at the time that he was never gonna make it. I seem to recall he looked the spitting image of our Aussie midfielder David Clarkson, another very lightweight, but technically ok player, around about the same time.
Oooh, that Pompey game, all around us in pen 1 of the North stand they were, seem to recall they got a bit upset when we celebrated their 'goal' being disallowed.

Best thing about the game was Foster taking out Pompey "dangerman" Paul Walsh. (apart from the result obviously
)

Headed his goal against Man Utd with his eyes shut. Pure class or maybe he didn't like heading, i think the latter was true.

I remember Edwards as a player who looked like he could be something pretty good when we first got him, similar (as I think someone else has said) to David Clarkson.
Scored a couple of crackers, but was knocked off the ball too easily in most games and wasn't strong enough.

I always thought he looked better when he played up front instead of on the winger. Can't remember what happened to him after the Albion.

My favourite Pompey game was in 1992, when they had reached the FA Cup semi final (astonishingly, without cheating the rest of the teams by spending extravagant amounts of money on players they couldn't afford), and were still clinging on to the hope of promotion to the top division.
We beat them at the Goldstone to extinguish their hopes once and for all, and I seem to recall they took it rather badly
with a couple of their thuggish players sent off. Martin Kuhl and Gavin Maguire spring to mind, though maybe I've got the wrong players...or even the wrong game 
he was pretty good in my memory. skillful, little bit of flair, little bit of grit.
aggro incident i remember from that pompey match was... clicking through the north stand turnstiles to be confronted by a couple of grappling fat fellas bumping down those steps towards me...

He went on to play in a very good Enfield side that I used to watch regularly. Looked outstanding at non-league level.
