39 poignant pictures as Portsmouth faithful pay tribute to one of their own against Stoke

It was an emotional night at Fratton Park as Pompey paid tribute to one of their own against Stoke City.

Blues fans and their Potters counterparts honoured the memory of fan, Alec Lumb, who tragically died on Saturday in the Middlesbrough game.

Pompey showed their class as John Mousinho laid a floral bouquet in the North Stand season-ticket holder’s seat, while flowers were also laid at Jimmy Dickinson’s statue.

A moving minute’s applause then took place, before the Fratton Faithful roared their team on to a big win Mousinho immediately dedicated to Lumb.
