Match Summary 22 year old Alf Strange became the first Pompey player to score five goals in a game as Pompey revenged the previous week's 4-2 defeat at Priestfield. Strange sadly would not stay long at Fratton ending up at Sheffield Wednesday where he won two league championship medal and twenty England caps.
