Book launch with Original Cash Book

Pompey's original cash book will be on display at a special book signing on Sunday to help mark the launch of The Making of Modern Pompey by the society's Mick Comben.

 

He will be at the Portsmouth City Museum & Art Gallery shop in Museum Road from 11am-1pm signing copies of the book which sheds new light on how Portsmouth Football Club was formed.

 

The event has been organised as part of the Association of Cultural Enterprise's Museum Shop Sunday campaign this weekend.

 

Priced at £15, proceeds from the book will be going to the society's Gerry Spraggs Fund, which aims to raise £25,000 by December 2025 to buy Peter Harris's two gold championship medals which he won for Pompey in 1949 & 1950.
