On this day in 2003, Harry Redknapp's side’s 1-0 victory over Burnley ensured their return to the top flight.

Quashie was at the heart of Pompey's goal, with his cross setting up Svetoslav Todorov's 73rd-minute finish – and a jump into the Fratton End to celebrate with fans.

After being tagged on Twitter reminding him of the game, the former Scotland international – who spent five years at Fratton Park – gave his regards to supporters amid the coronavirus crisis.

Quashie wrote: ‘Hope you and all the supporters of @Pompey along with their families and close friends are all ok, well and safe at this difficult time. #staysafe.'

Quashie joined Pompey from Nottingham Forest in 2000.

He scored 14 goals in 163 appearances before departing for Southampton in 2005.
