Today's video (with its backing track from an even earlier era!) includes some amazing colour footage taken on March 24th 1962 at Fratton Park during Pompey's 1961-62 Division 3 Championship winning season.
There's a big crowd, Jimmy Dickinson (number 6) is playing, look out for the Watney's Brown Ale advert on the North Stand and look at the Pompey shirts with the red numbers on the back!
There are some informative comments for the video on YouTube that tells us a bit more abaout the game including the opponents (Bristol City), the scoreline (5-0), the goalscorers (Ron Saunders, Keith Blackburn, Tony Barton, David Dodson (2)) and the attendance (20,584).
The backing track, from the 1930s, is called I Do Like To See A Game Of Football and it's by Sydney Kyte And His Piccadilly Hotel Band.
Although it's from a different era (nearly 50 years ago) there is something very familiar about Fratton Park in this video don't you think?
Enjoy!
