The former Blues midfielder, who made 144 appearances for the club during the 1980s, passed away earlier this month at the age of 57.

A Pompey hall-of-famer, Kennedy was the lynchpin of the Alan Ball's side which delivered top-flight football to the city after an absence of 28 years during the 1986-87 season.
