Port Chat

I am very sad to have to announce that Alex Russell passed away yesterday evening. I got to know Alex very well over the past few years running the former Players Association and nothing gave me more pride than being able to inducted into the hall of fame in 2019. For the Football Club to lose argua...

How about the club renames the stand (which was built during his tenure) after him? Yes, I know they will be seeking sponsors for it but the Jack Carr stand is sponsored and surely the club's finest manager should be as prominent as a former president (all due respect to Jack)? I have also made a r...

The story of football is best told by those who were there....so we want to hear stories from supporters, young and old, of games that meant something to you personally. Please get in touch and share your memories with a short story of your time following the Port home or away. Either send a PM or e...

Here's his full list of games for us.

Rodney Jack netted 23 goals in 45 games for St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Stan Mortensen...23 in 25 for England.

The scenes hitting our tv screens from Ukraine seem to get worse every day and the impact of the atrocities will be felt for years to come. Over 400,000 refugees have already fled their war-torn homes to neighbouring Poland, home of our retro shirt partners World Retro (a Chablais Sport brand), who ...

he wanted to go professional both on and off the field straight away rather than using the wealth of experience already at the club. Yes he rubbed some people up the wrong way and there will be people like Cavjj who will forever be bitter towards him because of this but his shake up got the club mo...

Thanks to a number of donations towards the archive, we now have a large volume of 'spare'/duplicate Southport programmes available, uncatalogued, from recent years right back to the 60s, both home and away. If any fans (young or old) want to kick start a collection please get in touch. Formerplayer...

Shareholders in any business are interested primarily in profits, I should think!! Southport Football Club is a limited company and therefore it makes no difference to shareholders whether either a profit or a loss is made as the shareholder will neither benefit from it or be liable for it. Purchas...

I agree with every word,however pity the club doesn't post a statement with the same enthusiasm (wrong word,but couldn't think of a better one)praising the young and growing support, whose noise has done so much this season to help what a great season we are having so far, Just saying On the basis ...

Also nice to hear credit being given to the community section for being a big contributory reason why there are so many more young children around on a match day. There are a number of individuals who have worked incredibly hard over a number of years to make sure that the section is still running. ...

In Ian's interview he mentions not receiving money from pure since March 2020 , liam said in his interview after the gateshead game which was 3 months ago that phil was sponsoring the back of the shirt do we know if this ever happened. Well the Pure branding is on the back of the shirts and, as you...

I'm a big fan of old kits, hence the retro range available from the FPA. Southport Central started in 1888 with a white shirt and blue shorts...A very nice retro version of which will soon be available. It's interesting to see club colours listed as one of the heritage items listed in the independen...

I think Bill Perry may have been the first? RIP Cliff. His mother was South African, but I don't think Bill Perry was black...The first black player to play for England is widely credited as Viv Anderson in 1978 but Bill Perry played for England in 1955/56. I believe Southport's first black player ...

From the article I provided a link to: In 2018 a change of company name resolution was passed whereby Pinewise Limited was renamed Southport Football Club Limited. Revised Articles of association were issued a month later. As the change of name can only take place by special resolution at an AGM (he...

It didn't cease to exist, it changed it's name.

Whilst the majority of our focus over the past few months has been in arranging our 2021 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and former player reunion event, we have still been quietly researching in the background. Mark Iddon has continued to delve into the first world war period and, in the week follo...
