| Match Summary | Billy Eames leaves with a £100 leather coat, donated by a fan to the scorer of the first goal in a home win. His near-post shot is muffed by Allan Ross and ends a barren run at Fratton going back to 31 March 1975. United boss Dick Young heaps on praise: ‘Pompey are as good as any we’ve met lately.’ |
