After a period of 69 years the FA Cup returns to Portsmouth!
The celebrations at the weekend were incredible, for anyone who was there the elation and relief was amazing, as a season ticket holder and a fan over 40 years, the feeling was surreal.Behind me, a man who probably has been supporting Pompey for longer than me was crying his eyes out, in front, tiny tots were dancing and singing, the sea of blue flags waving the noise deafening, this is what most older Pompey fans had dreamed of and most thought they would never see, Sol Campbell holding the Cup.
Of course it had been tough getting to the final in the first place, none more so, than when we knocked out Manchester Utd, the heroics that day from the team, made us all believe that this was Pompey’s year.
So we all left Wembley with huge grins on our faces and credit to the Cardiff supporters who stayed and clapped when Portsmouth collected the cup.
The next day in Portsmouth, unbelievable scenes when the team toured the City and eventually arrived at Southsea Common, again it was a fabulous atmosphere. The television helicopters were hovering above filming the scene below, up to 200,000 people thronged the streets and Southsea, to welcome our heroes home.
So what next? Next season Europe, could we win the Cup? Of course we can - most of us, never thought we could win the FA Cup.
