Best Pompey XI made of players born in Portsmouth?
Just found out Mason Mount is a Pompey boy! Allegedly refused to go on loan to Southampton while at Chelsea.
Made me think about what the best Pompey XI would be from people born from our great city.
I don’t have the experience of watching some of our older players so curious who you’d put down.

Also David Leworthy. Think this is the brother of Perry, who I seem to remember was banned from football”sine die” for local league problems. Never heard if he played again.
Mark Hateley and Alan Biley made my favourite season.

Re: Best Pompey XI made of players born in Portsmouth?
As an oldie I recall:
Jack Froggatt
Jimmy Dickinson
Dougie Reid
Peter Harris
Len Phillips
Phil Gunter
Guy Whittingham
Alan Knight
Ben Close
Jack Whatmough
Reg Flewin (I think he was a Pompey boy?)
That would make a good, hard team!!

I haven’t looked it up but wasn’t Jimmy Dickinson born in Alton?

* Mason Mount
* James Ward-Prowse
* Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Guy Whittingham was born in Evesham, Worcestershire, sorry to burst that bubble. Pompey bought him out of the army for £450.00. Money well spent for him and the club. Alan Knight was born in Balham, South London.
Mark Hateley and Alan Biley made my favourite season.

Re: Best Pompey XI made of players born in Portsmouth?
That would make a great team but, if I may be pedantic. Froggatt was born on my birthday in Sheffield (a bit earlier I might add), Dickenson was born in Winchester. Dougie Reid was born in Scotland, Alan Knight in London and Guy Whittingham was born in Evesham. Reg Flewin was born in Portsmouth but Jack Whatmough was born in Gosport, which is near enough I suppose. Ray Crawford was born in Portsmouth though.
