Product Description

Synopsis
Illustrated throughout, this book chronicles events from the first day of Harry Redknapp's management to the glory of promotion in 2003, a season never to be forgotten by Pompey followers. This is the story of a club's rise from mid-table mediocrity in the First Division to the Premiership.

About the Author
Pat Symes has been covering Portsmouth's matches for national newspapers, radio and television for 25 years. Photographer Mike Walker, Portsmouth-born and bred, has been visiting Fratton Park even longer. He remembers being passed over the heads of sailor-hatted supporters to the front as a small boy during the 50s when Pompey were still a major power. Contributors Peter Simm, Alex Crook and Jim Baldwin have all seen the best and worst of Pompey in journalistic capacities.
