I'll happily take Friday night as I'm at work on Saturday 👍
Toffs do a replica of it ^
Ian St John was Pompey's manager, the first time a 3rd round tie had been brought forward from the traditional Saturday KO - on the insistence of the police due to the sharp rise in crowd trouble at the time.
Peter Marinello scored for them, once touted as the next George Best, the hype earning him a guest appearance on Top of the Pops when he moved to Arsenal.
Didn't he go from Arsenal to Portsmouth along with George Graham? Can remember them also signing rep of Ireland defender Eion Hand, good signings on paper but flops.
Yes, Hibs to Arsenal to Portsmouth. George Graham was also in the 11 that night.
Marinello didn't want to leave Hibs, it was the clubs' decision. He says his biggest regret was scoring a fancy solo goal on his Arsenal debut at a televised game at Man Utd that started the comparison with Best and his career went downhill from there.

Barnsley kicked out of the competition for fielding an illegible player.
The team they beat - Horsham - go through to round 2 instead.
