With the dinner scheduled for Friday, March 9, the event will once more acknowledge the achievements of those who have starred for the Blues.

Hateley scored 25 goals in 44 appearances during the 1983-84 campaign, his only season at Fratton Park, and was subsequently sold to AC Milan.

Pompey fan Hillier possesses the Pompey Ladies appearance record of 282 matches and is also the club’s highest scorer with 92 goals. She recently retired to concentrate on Beach Soccer.

Rogers won two promotions with the Blues following his recruitment from Plymouth in the summer of 1979 by Frank Burrows, making 192 appearances.
