Let’s take a trip down grassroots football memory lane – all the way back to 1974.

The 11 Portsmouth area team photographs pictured here were all printed in the Sports Mail almost half a century ago.

They include Havant Leigh Park, who in 1982 became Havant Town and who later merged with Waterlooville – also pictured here – to form the current National League South club.

If you have any similar team photos from yesteryear, we’d love to see them. Email [email protected]
