to view the eclipse", apparently- yes the path of the eclipse is shown here....bit of astronomy for you! It was due to pass over Devon around midday.
The previous eclipse had been on June 29th 1927, a year that the FA Cup left England for the first and only time.......remember?
The "once in a lifetime experience" didn't upset the cup fixture for long as Pompey played the 1st leg match on the 17th at Torquay, drawing 0-0 and then won 3-0 in the 2nd leg tie on the 24th.
In Round Two they lost 1-6 in the two legged tie against Blackburn Rovers. Alan Ball started a manager that season to be replaced by Tony Pulis in December, who save them from relegation, finishing 18th.
Tomorrow...... the "Glorious Twelfth"....no its not!
