It has been a challenging season for Portsmouth as John Mousinho’s side missed out on a place in the League One play-offs.
For all of their efforts throughout a long and difficult campaign, Pompey paid the price for inconsistent form and an inability to convert draws into wins during key times left them sat seven points and two places shy of the top six when the final whistle was blown on the season two weeks ago.
Despite those difficulties, Portsmouth supporters have continued to back their side throughout the last nine months as they ended the season with the fifth highest average attendance in the division, with their 18,064 only bettered by Bolton Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich Town and Derby County.
And amongst their number, Pompey are able to count on the support of some very familiar faces. With the season now over, The News looks at the well-known names that have pledged their allegiance to the Portsmouth cause.
