As we know, Pompey played three FA Cup finals before the Second World War. In 1929 we played Bolton Wanderers, going down 2-0.

In 1934 we played Manchester City, going down 2-1.

In 1939 victory was obtained to the cost of Wolverhampton Wanderers when we beat them 4-1. 

Owing to the outbreak of the war we kept the cup for the following six years.
