Have we ever had a son of a former player play for us? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Yes, from the database it looks like he made two substitute appearances.

Big feature on John Aldridge, focussing on his time at Tranmere. I didn't realise he played quite so long for them, or that Tranmere were in the equivalent of the Championship at the time.

Weirdly, I spent half an hour in the middle of the night on Thursday trying to stave off insomnia by unsuccessfully seeking to recall the name of the ineffective striker we signed from Aldershot during the relegation season to the conference, who turned out to be utter sh*t.

The next day, scrolling Twitter, I saw something saying that Tim Sills (for it was he) has just been made manager of Southern League Div 1 outfit Wimborne Town.

Pompey recall the July 2020 play-off semi final where they dropped skipper Tom Naylor for being a "winter player".
