PORTSMOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB

Early day motion 1084, tabled 28 April 2003 by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 14 members.

That this House congratulates Portsmouth Football Club on being promoted to the Football Premier League as champions of the First Division; notes also the tremendous honesty, skill and commitment of Harry Redknapp and Jim Smith, the players, and also the backroom staff in contributing to this success; and recognises in particular the personal contribution made by chairman Milan Mandaric who, along with all the supporters, have never wavered in their belief in the club, and who can now justifiably be very proud of their achievement.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, Liberal Democrat 4.
