105-Year-Old Fan Sees Pompey Win on Birthday

A remarkable 105th birthday celebration saw lifelong Portsmouth fan Joan Geary cheer her team to a 3-0 victory. The outing was specially arranged by Cosham Court Nursing Home, allowing Geary to witness Pompey's win against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. The club generously provided a free ticket for the occasion, a cherished gift for the devoted supporter.

Geary, whose personal space is a testament to her passion with extensive Pompey memorabilia, expressed immense happiness. A spokesperson from the nursing home confirmed she was "absolutely over the moon." This event fulfilled a dream for Geary, who had resigned herself to never attending a match again due to mobility issues.

Pompey in the Community played a crucial role in making this seemingly impossible day a reality with just a single phone call from the nursing home manager. The home manager noted Geary's profound gratitude, quoting her saying, "I will never ever forget that day." There are hopes for another visit to Fratton Park for the former season ticket holder this season.
