Pompey in the Youth Cup

Last updated : 10 November 2003 By Martyn Elliott

The tie will be played at Fratton Park on Wednesday December 3 with kick off at 7pm, and our Under-18s will be hoping for a longer run in the competition than last year’s crop.

Last season we exited at this stage thanks to a 3-1 home defeat by Manchester United, who went on to beat Middlesbrough in the final.


We have won the competition twice before in 1962 and 1985, when the team featured Paul Gascoigne.
