Good move for him I suppose, particularly given his long standing connection with the area during his time at Southampton. Judging by the Pompey Manager's comments it does sound very much as though he will largely be a bench warmer there though, which is something I guess he has become used to, apart from his spells with us that is.
In part I guess it is the life of a goalkeeper, but I can't help but reflect on the fact that at 28 years of age he has made less starts in the Football L eagle than 21 year old Luke Young! No doubt he has earnt some very good money in his career, even when he was with us! But, you do wonder whether he might look back on his career with some regrets later on in life, whilst cheering himself up with his bank balance no doubt though!
Anyway thanks for your past efforts Pokey, wish you the best of luck.
It will be interesting to see who (if any) we bring in to replace him and whether any replacement is seen as first or second choice, to Ricey.
