It was April 2003 and Portsmouth’s famous Redknapp side has swept all before them that season. Needing a win over bottom-placed Wednesday to seal their fate, Lee Bradbury put Pompey ahead early doors to put the champagne on ice.
The Owls had other ideas and though their own season fate was looking pretty miserable by this stage, they gave their fans a rare afternoon to remember on the south coast as Michael Reddy stroked home a winner in injury time to offer a spike of hope of Division One survival.
What happened next to the likes of Reddy makes for fascinating reading, with all sorts of moves abroad, some career switches and a whole lot else.
Take a stroll down memory lane to find out what happened next to the payers that ruined Pompey’s promotion party all those years ago.
13. Sub - Michael Reddy
The hero of that last Fratton Park success, Reddy bagged the winner in injury time while on loan from Sunderland. Once regarded as one of the best young players in the country and valued at £5m while still a teenager, the start of the end came as he suffered a ligament injury in training and fell away, signing for Grimsby Town from the Mackems the summer his time at S6 ended. Hip operations followed and he retired aged just 26 in 2007. Went into business, completing an MA from the University of Manchester, and now has a successful career in digital marketing. | Steve Ellis
