Lovely scenes as both teams provide a guard of honour to welcome Linvoy on to the pitch and he is given a standing ovation.
00: Fulham kick off.
01: Linvoy is playing a holding midifeld role - just like Makelele!
02: First touch from Linvoy is greeted by cheers - a pass to Tommy Smith.
05: A shot high and wide from a tight angle by Duff.
09: Mullins clears Zamora's header off the line from Gera's cross.
09: Not the best crowd I'm afraid. You would expect more supporters to come out and pay tribute to a Pompey hero.
12: A standing ovation as Primus is replaced by Kanu. He looks like he's worked up a sweat!
13: Chants of 'we love you Linvoy' from the home crowd and 'one Linvoy Primus'.
16: Clever play from Smith feeds Nugent but his snapshot is at Schwarzer.
20: Turning into a bit of a lazy summer afternoon now the interest of Linvoy being on the pitch has been removed.
23: Utaka fails to connect cleanly with a lovely Rithcie delivery.
27: A golden chance for Utaka as Schwarzer's clearance hits Kanu and falls into his path but he somehow hits his shot at the keeper instead of finding the net.
GOAL! 31: A Smith cross is put behind for a corner and the delivery is emphatically headed home by Wilson.
40: Attendance is a paltry 6,685.
44: A flicked header from Gera flies just wide.
Half-time: Pompey 1 Fulham 0
46: Gera is replaced by Johnson. Pompey restart the game.
48: Zamora is given a totally free header from Duff's free-kick but Ashdown pushes his effort around the post.
50: Zamora shoots at Ashdown from Duff's cutback.
55: Utaka wins a corner but the delivery is a poor one and comes to nothing.
56: Wilson does well to deny Davies and then beats him with a couple of drag-backs before clearing.
59: Zamora get in behind Sonko but Ashdown narrows the angle well and forces him to shoot wide.
60: Smith smashes a lovely
61: Duff, Konchesky, Pantsil and Baird are replaced by Dempsey, Kelly, Stoor and Dikgacoi
