The 30-year-old central defender reached the notable landmark following his 227th outing for the Blues in Tuesday night’s 3-1 win over Cambridge United.
By doing so, he heads an impressive list including fellow former Player of the Seasons, FA Cup winners, First Division title winners, League Two title winners and several Pompey Hall of Famers.
Here are the Blues’ top-14 appearance makers since January 2000...

9. Matt Clarke - 175 games
A classy central defender who originally arrived on loan from Ipswich in July 2015 and went on to be an impressively consistent player for the Blues. Matt Clarke won the 2016-17 League Two title, the 2019 Checkatrade Trophy, while earned The News/Sports Mail Player Of The Season trophy in successive seasons. Picture: Joe Pepler Photo: Joe Pepler

10. Kanu - 168 games
Famously recruited from the local park by Harry Redknapp after struggling to find a club in the summer of 2006, Kanu would be Pompey's 2008 FA Cup final hero. The ageless striker and Nigerian icon spent six seasons at Fratton Park. Picture: Steve Reid Photo: Steve Reid

11. Richard Hughes - 165 games
One of Harry Redknapp's first signings after joining from Bournemouth in March 2002, the ever-dependable Richard Hughes spent nine years at Fratton Park. A fine passer of the ball and always willing to collect a yellow card to help the team, he outlasted many managers. Picture: Steve Reid Photo: Steve Reid

12. Nigel Quashie - 163 games
Recruited from Nottingham Forest in August 2000 by Tony Pulis, the hard-working midfielder was a key performer in staying in the First Division under Graham Rix and then - two years later - securing promotion to the Premier League with Harry Redknapp's 2002-03 side.
