This is right up there with the best football matches I have ever seen. Pompey were huge underdogs in this FA Cup Semi-Final match against Spurs managed by ex-Pompey boss Harry Redknapp. But Pompey won. 2v0. And we were there....
I arrived at Wembley with Simon, Giles, Jez (Spurs fan) and his mate John (Pompey fan sitting in the Spurs end). We found a good parking spot under the arch...
I met Will, Freddy and Peter and we shared a pre-match can with Eddie and his friend, mostly talking about how we'd be happy to get out of this with a respectable scoreline...
Will and Freddy soaking up the sun and the pre-match atmosphere.
There was a huge round of the chimes "Play Up Pompey" as the teams came out. The singing from the Pompey fans was sensational...
We were in Row 6 just to the left of the goal the goal. Here Pompey line up a free kick. It comes to nothing. Pompey hold out until full-time. The score is O v O. The game goes to extra time...
The Pompey crowd were amazing. This photo is from the Portsmouth Evening News. You can see the four of us lined up behind the Play Up Pompey banner, Peter (behind the big bloke in the white shirt), My Hat, Freddy's head and Will in his bright green jacket...
In extra time the impossible happens...Pompey score. Then we get a penalty to make it safe. We are in dreamland. No-one can look as Boateng lines it up....
Boateng scores the penalty. The crowd go wild...
Unable to believe what has just happened. Exhausted but happy. Back at the car - Giles, Simon, Me and poor old Jez (it was a long ride home for him!)...
What a Great Day. Now it's Chelsea in the FA Cup Final on 15th May.
