13/12/2011 HATVENT CALENDAR: SKYSPORTS FANZONE PNE 0-1 POMPEY

POMPEYCHICKEN'S HAT OF THE DAY
The hat today is as close to a Tommy Cooper style Fez as I can find.

It represents the totally unexpected, perfect moment, when the FA Cup 5th Round tie between Preston North End and Pompey ended in a rather clumsy, haphazard fashion in the final minute.

It was the sort of magic we all knew Tommy could produce, but often didn't opting instead for the comedy angle.

The sort of moment we all hoped Pompey would produce, but rarely did: 'magical moments' and 'Pompey' were words rarely seen together in the same sentence.

But with the game goalless and heading for a Fratton Park replay Pompey had one final corner kick...the rest as they say, with the FA Cup trophy gleaming in the TV Studio overlooking the pitch, is history.

This is how it played out on SkySports Fanzone.

Enjoy!
