I’ll be looking forward to seeing that famous yellow and black strip at Fratton Park

Linvoy Primus var stabil mittback för Portsmouth under många år i Premier League. Han gjorde närmare 200 matcher innan han på grund av en knäskada tvingades avsluta karriären 2009. Det många kanske inte känner till är att genombrottet kom i Barnet under mitten av 1990-talet.

 

Primus var del i en fin generation för Barnet med spelare som Maik Taylor, Dougie Freedman och Sean Devine. Han såldes vidare till Reading innan han hamnade på den engelska sydkusten i Portsmouth. Därför är mötet mellan klubbarna speciellt för den gode Linvoy:

 

 "I’ll be looking forward to seeing that famous yellow and black strip at Fratton Park.

 

I only ever came up against Barnet on one occasion after leaving the club and it was in this competition when I was at Reading.

 

Apart from the promotion season at Pompey, I had some of the best times of my career when I was there.

 

All the players were in the same position financially, there were no egos, it was a young team and we shared some good times together.

 

It was a great football education for me.

 

It would have been emotional if I was playing still.

 

But it will still bring back some nice memories."
