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.’
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.
