I was there that day with my brother Paul , and so was Father Christmas!! His pitch invasion was amusing but just added to the entertainment. The best last few minutes I can recall in over 50 years of watching Pompey. Nice to see and listen to again, just a shame we had to lose Alan biley afterwards.

jesus, i remember that game well, although being a o u f c lad in the away end, it was a classic with santa coming on the pitch and holding the game up for 3 mins, with biley scoring the 2 goals in santa's added time to the loudest roar of a winner i've ever heard in 36 years of watching footie!!

Good on you Nicky for your gracious reply. It was a helluva game (but not a good way to lose) - and *still* had time to hit the bar after!! Bloimey, you & us had some battles then (& recently!)

I was there, not long turned 18. Amazing nearly 40 years ago & I’m still going to FP 💙⚽️

The Fratton Park crescendo cannot be beaten. Wild times.

Wow this brought the memories back - no seats lots more atmosphere.

I love the fact that the video has been edited to be 6 minutes and 57 seconds long [6:57] 😁 I was at this game and oh what times we had back then 🙂🙃🙂 Can't believe that it was 40 years ago now. PTID! ⚔⚽💙

Those were the, days my friend , we are the Fratton end we'll sing and Dance forever and a day, we live the life we choose we fight and never lose, trhose were the days, Oh yese those were the Days, La, la, la ,la-la la La la la la la la....................... 05.23 look at the boy behind Alan Ball, he 's clapping first then bursts in2 tears bless him.

My dad took me to this game we stood right up the top of the fratton end, remember when santa ran on to the pitch causing extra minutes for the legendary Alan Biley to score two late goals in the fratton end. The atmosphere was fantastic that night.

Hi i was there with my dad whose now gone but we both remembered it as best ever seen

Now this is proper football, when someone gets tackled they get back up with no complaints and trys to get the ball back, now if you so much as nudge someone they roll around like theyve been sprayed in the eyes with lemon juice. Wish I could have seen a match like this in person but still its nice to see vids like this to know what proper football was like.

proper Fratton Park Roooooooaaar Play Up Pompey!!

I was 16 yrs old and in the north terrace, one of the best games ive been too, Happy days :-D

Oxford for thr chances should of won

The Chimes...... worth a goal.

I was sat on the fence cheering when we scored the winner great day Pup

Remember listening to this live Radio 2 commentary - what a fantastic ending & fantastic atmosphere

Great bit of editing. Always enjoyed going down Portsmouth for a day out with my club Chelsea (not Chelski). Lot of respect for their fans now and then, despite not makiing us feel that welcome!. Deliberately looked up Alan Biley as he suffered a torrent of let's just say pity from one independant Chelsea fan, who took exception to Alan's haircut, who just so happened to be put on the wing for some inexplicable reason. The poor sod had to suffer 'Biley. Get your hair cut' for 70 minutes. After that the individual saw that the linesman was wearing what we call in London a syrup. Don't know why the man turned up really. As the game was a 0-0 I'm thinking that it was probably the reason I laughed or found it laughable and then laughed.Last mention goes to Mark Hateley. He was a bit useful. Biley was an exciting player and consistently dangerous, but Hateley would take my vote as a starter for the 86 world cup. Destroyed Italian defenders with his class in the air AND on the floor. Overlooked by the papers!!

I was there :-) Not forgetting Father Christmas early visit too.

Thanks for posting , I remember going to this match , when i was a kid . PUP.

The big match atmosphere and the capacity is being generated from the terraces all right. 22,000 ?????? I always suspected there was a few thousand more in those days. (Faulty turnstiles lol).

It is still one of the greatest games I have ever seen at Fratton Park and this is still the best team I have ever seen play for Pompey, even with all the players we have had in the Premier League. The little boy behind Alan Ball is his son Jimmy.

Play up Pompey!

I was 3 years old living in Ventnor IOW in 1984. My dad is a Spurs 'fan'/glory hunter,, but who have I followed since 1993(after moving to Australia in 1986)? PFC innit... :)

play up pompey!

Judging by the comments about Father Christmas invading the pitch, he did Pompey a favour by getting us the goals at the end.

:) great match. Did you deliberately time the video at 6:57?

No I didn't...I was gobsmacked when I saw that!!!

i liked the classic 2013 meeting between oxford and portsmouth as well

I was at the game with my brother, North Terrace, great atmosphere, did Father Christmas run onto the pitch or something? I think he did, but I'd need to check. Heart in my mouth when Oxford hit the bar at the end. Great days.

i was 1 of the ball boys at this game classic

Me and my brother in law through him on

I was at this game, at the away end. What the highlights miss out is that Santa Claus came onto the pitch in the second half - and it was during the time added on for this that Biley scored the winner.

alan knight, still the best keeper I've ever seen that never played for england

YELLOWS!

6:13 hesky bak in the day up to his old teicks ahahaha

I got the wrong end of the stick.I saw "Pompey in 1984 classic"-last minute stuff,and I thought it was referring to Steve Moran!!

is this Martin tyler commtating?

@pete1201 Season after that. 84/85 we missed out on Goal Difference (I think), the next season - 85/86 by 3 points (to Wimbledon?) - then finally went up (and they changed it to only 2 teams going up as well) in 86/87 - 2nd to Derby IIRC. Yep, Biley went to Brighton for something like £45,000. And Hateley went at the end of this season here to Milan for £915,000.

wats the music to tht song ?

What support???

Pompey play up

ROFL - The insults I've had to endure about playing in League One with a -10 point start & come September the Skates will be playing in the Ryman Premier! :-)

Who won the league in the end though? :) I was there 20th dec 1984 never been so bloody cold at a football match drizzle all match i rememberholding the freezing cold metal barrier in the away end. Great days great game even though we lost and a great atmosphere. And as for that bloody father christmas brrrrr humbug!

Just Jimmy (his son), crying - was about 8 at the time!

Transpired later than Alan Biley had put in the transfer request because he'd been caught sleeping with other player's wives.
