The Blues’ FA Cup glory in 2008 represents their most recent major triumph, adding to their 1939 success.
On top of their cup fortunes, the Fratton Park outfit were – at one stage – the best team in England, winning the First Division in consecutive seasons in 1949 and 1950.
That has seen them amass four major honours to their name - three more than their fierce south coast rivals Southampton.
But are Pompey one of the most decorated clubs in England?
Following Manchester City’s crowning as Premier League champions, we’ve taken a look at how the Blues’ major honours compare?
Here’s what we found.
