Shaka Hislop

Pompey's Current Number One and voted into the Division 1 team of the season for his consistent performances this season

Jamie Vincent

Not Featured in the side this season and must be wondering what Harry thinks of him and where his future lies.

Eddie Howe

Mr Unlucky this season played approx 15 mins of the 1st game against Forest and then injured his knee and has been out ever since, still on long road to recovery.

Hayden Foxe

Aussie Defender and a touch of class at the back which Pompey have been missing since the likes of Awford and Symons in the early 90s.

Has the ability to bring the ball out defence and into midfield, could be an important attribute in the Premier League

Arjan De Zeeuw

ZEEUW!!!! they chant and he deserves all the accolades. Has been a rock at the back this season. Organisational skills will be tested to the full next season.

Kevin Harper

Started the season with an uncertain future at the club but, due to injuries at various stages to Stone and laterly Taylor has earned himself a new contract with some improved performances and important goals. Played through pain of hernia at the end of the season to help Pompey over the finish line

Svetoslav Todorov

Came to the club at the end of the previous season and according to Harry was an excellent finisher. Pompey fans may have disagreed to start with but this season has been one the most important cogs. He has proved that Harry's judgement and faith in him was justified and a final game hatrick at Bradford earned him the Division 1 golden boot.

Paul Merson

Super Paul Merson has been responsible for the most dramatic turnaround in fortunes this season. As captain of the side he has weighed in with goals, assists and some sumptous performances to wow the Fratton faithful

Nigel Quashie

Last years captain gave up captaincy to Merson without any fuss and is starting to show the undoubted potential that he has can be fulfilled. He can become a complete midfielder with the ability to shoot, tackle and run all day long, Merse reckons that he should play for England if he realises that massive promise in the Premier League.

Lassina Diabate

Brought to the club this season to provide some steel in the midfield that perhaps could be lacking. Shown to be very strong in the tackle and sometimes too strong. Time will tell whether he has the class to make it in the Premier.

Matthew Taylor

This could be the answer to the problems England have been having on the left side in recent years. Awesome going forward and the stamina to be a long distance runner. Injury kept him out of the run in, hopefully back fully fit to show what he can do in the Premier League.

Courtney Pitt

Showed last season that he has massive potential on the left wing. Plenty of skill and the pace to go past people. Has fallen out of favour this season and will probably need to show Harry a greater level of consistency.

Vincent Pericard

On Loan Juventus players at Pompey what is going on?? Before Mr Redknapp and Mr Storrie moved into the club this kind of thing just never happened. Big, stong and quick with a healthy dose of skill, can appear raw and ungainly but over the course of the season has improved gradually to put in some assured performances in the last few game of the season.

Steve Stone

The former England Star was released by Graham Taylor at Villa and after impressing during an initial loan spell made his move permanent. Looks as if Taylor has made another ricket by letting him go. Put in some energietic performances and looks to have overcome some niggly hamstring problems.

Yakubu Aiyegbeni

The Yak looks to be the player who can really shine in the Premier League. Very quick, strong and can turn on a sixpence leaving defenders trailing in his wake. Alex Ferguson was impressed when he heard that Pompey had secured to services of the Yak after he had shown what he can do during some livewire performances in the Champions League for Maccabi Haifa.

Carl Tiler

Another who has not featured this season apart from a couple of appearances on the bench. Perhaps his future lies away from the club.

Markus Heikkinen

Finnish international defender brought in this season as cover for the old hands at the back, not really had much of a chance as of yet apart from coming on for the injured De Zeeuw away to coventry. Has been putting in some assured performances in the reserves.

Gary O'Neil

Englands Captain at under 19 level and now knocking on the door for under 21 honours, has grown into the central midfield role this season and made big impacts when coming on from the bench. The biggest compliment that can be payed is that when Merse has a rare off game this is the man Pompey fans want to fill his boots.

Neil Barrett

Had a promising start to his Pompey career under Graham Rix but has strugled to compete for a first team place this season. A compact combative midfielder and he still has time on his side.

Shaun Cooper

Promising right sided player who plays most of his football at right back will hope to learn from the likes of Steve Stone to become a first team regular.

Yoshi Kawaguchi

Came to Pompey with a big reputation and captain of the Japanese national side. Had a poor first season and has played second fiddle to Shaka this season, has impressed with his attitiude and never complained. Came on as substitute at Bradford on the last day of the season and many people think that could have been a farewell performance.

Linvoy Primus

Pompeys player of the year. Started the season out of the side and only came in due to injuries to other players. Since then he hasn't looked back and has been irrepressible as part of Pompey's back three.

Deservedly given a new contract and we all look forward to seeing him do his stuff in the Premier League.

Deon Burton

Started this season on loan from cash strapped Derby, scored some important early season goals only to get injured and return to Derby to regain fitness. He has not looked as effective since returning this time on a permanent basis.

Gianluca Festa

Uncle Festa has had an exiting season due to the fact that he had to fill in as an emergency wing back on occasions. Pompey fans were impressed with his tackling at the back and strong running and the ability to play an excellent cross when the opportunity presents itself. Has now left to go back to his native Italy

Tim Sherwood

Signed mid-season from Spurs after a falling out with manager Glenn Hoddle. Was obviously lacking match fitness during the first couple of matches but, has grown as the season came to head. Provides some guile and ball winning skills in the middle of the park.

Lee Bradbury

The boy from the rock has succesfully fought his way back from a career threatening knee injury and spent a succesful loan period at Sheffield Wed. Came back to a massive reception in his first game back in the Pompey side ironically against Sheffield Wednesday. The cheers only got louder when he proceded to score.

Carl Pettefer

Youthful Midfielder has been impressing on loan at Exeter City.

Carl Robinson

Joined Pompey on a short term contract with the view of earning himself a longer term deal. Started the season well in the Sherwood role and won himself an improved contract. Has since fallen out of favour and was shipped out on loan towards the end of the season.

Lewis Buxton

Another boy from the rock, Lewis hasn't featured in the ream this season and spent periods of it out on loan with Carl Pettefer at Exeter. Impressed greatly last season as the most consistent member of a shakey Pompey back line. Strong and quick enough to make great recovery tackles, he surely must be one to watch for the future.

Mark Burchill

Former Celtic Striker had a massive impact when he signed last season and struck up an instant partnership with Peter Crouch. He then suffered a serious knee ligament injury in a training ground collision with Robert Prosinecki. Battled back only to find no favour with Harry and has gone on loan to Dundee in order to regain fitness and form. Devastating pace and a good finisher. Pompey fans have been left wondering if there is a conflict between this fans favourite and King Harry.

Richard Hughes

Signed from Bournemouth and has put in some good performances when he has had the chance. Lost part of a finger in a freak accident with a door. Spent the tail end of the season on loan at Grimsby. Meastro Merson believes he has the talent to be a future Scotland international

Rowan Vine

Thrown in at the deepend last season and is now on loan at Brentford.

Patrick Berger

Signed on a free transfer from Liverpool at the end of his contract. High hopes that he make a big impact on the south coast.

Boris Zivkovic

Croation captain signed from Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer. Has Champions league and World Cup experience and got to the champions league final with his previous club. Versatile defender can play anywhere across the back line.

Dejan Stefanovic

Left sided defender signed for a club record £1.8m from Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem. Highly rated by Harry, good in the air and at home with the ball at his feet.

Teddy Sheringham

Former England international with over 50 caps and has played in the world cup with his country against the best in the world. Won 3 trophies in 1 season with United (Premiership, FA Cup and the Champions League). Scored the dramatic equaliser in the final of the champions league final in injury time and had a hand (head) in the winner.
