   Pompey's home ever since — and the birthplace of the Pompey Chimes, the oldest chant in football.

3. 1939 · FA Cup winners

   Pompey beat Wolves 4–1 at Wembley — and famously held the trophy through the war years.

4. 1949–50 · Champions of England

   Back-to-back First Division titles — the club's golden era.

5. 2008 · FA Cup again

   Kanu's goal beats Cardiff City 1–0 at Wembley to bring the Cup home to Fratton Park.

6. 2013 · Saved by the fans
