Portsmouth F.C. season 1948-49

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Portsmouth F.C.'s Golden Jubilee season of 1948-49, the club were tipped to be the first team of the 20th century to win the Football League and FA Cup double. However, Pompey crashed out of the FA Cup in the semi-final against Leicester City, but made up for it by claiming the league title in spectacular fashion. That season also saw a record attendance of 51,385, a record which still stands to this day. Bob Jackson was Manager for this season, and 18 players were used in total. Portsmouth went on to be league champions in the 1949-50 season as well.
