To get his colleagues ‘pumped’ for the fixture at Vale Park, his pre-match song of choice was Portsmouth by Mike Oldfield, while Another One Bites The Dust by Queen was played at full-time as Pompey saw past Port Vale to continue their unbeaten league start.

After the victory, Cowley made sure Thompson wasn’t left out of the changing room celebrations, with the midfielder on a FaceTime call while the 90’s hit was playing.

In fact, the Blues boss handed his phone around making sure each of his men could have a quick laugh and joke with their stricken team-mate.

The togetherness and unity within the squad was very much highlighted by the Fratton faithful on social media, who the enjoyed heart-warming behind-the-scenes content.
