The ex-professionals took on a team of former Fareham Town players at Cams Alders on Easter Sunday.
Gittens played as a commanding centre half for both Pompey and Saints, while he also had a spell as manager of Fareham in the noughties.
Former Blues players who turned out in the friendly - played over three 25-minute periods - included Lee Bradbury, Deon Burton, Andy Cook, David Waterman and David Birmingham.
Ex-Saints included Jo Tessem - who is still playing aged 50 in the Wessex League for Hythe & Dibden - Neil Maddison, Reuben Agboola, Steve Baker and Mark Blake.
Former Fratton Park players Paul Walsh and Guy Butters were also present, as were ex-Saints Jason Dodd, Dave Puckett, Glenn Cockerill and Nicky Banger.
Former Northern Ireland international defender Chris Nicholl - the manager who first signed Gittens for Saints in the mid-1980s from Midlands non-league club Paget Rangers - was also present.
The ex-Fareham squad comprised players who had mainly played under Gittens, who sadly passed away from cancer in May 2019. He was only 55.
Event organiser BJ Green - who captained Fareham under Gittens - told The News the friendly should become an annual event.
‘Fareham have been absolutely brilliant,’ he said. ‘They have given it the all clear again.’
