Hope you don’t mind me sticking this in what is presumably intended mainly for your photoshoot mate, but it seemed the appropriate place, rather than start a new thread:

Bobby Stokes: The Portsmouth fan who won the FA Cup for Southampton
[/url]
A few little gems from the article…
As a child, Stokes lived 30 miles from Southampton on the Paulsgrove estate in Portsmouth, and dreamed of playing for their fiercest rivals.
“Unfortunately for Bobby, his trial coincided with Portsmouth having financial problems and they scrapped their reserve and youth teams ,” said Mark Sanderson, author of ‘Bobby Stokes: The Man from Portsmouth Who Scored Southampton’s Most Famous Goal’.
I often say that P*rtsmouth is stuck in a timewarp. And history just seems to keep on repeating itself down the other end of the M27.
“The management at the time famously said, ’ there’s only money for fish in the sea in Portsmouth’. Bobby ended up signing for Saints in 1968.”
Skate porn and paraphyletic prostitution. It’s a lovely plaice.
