List of Portsmouth F.C. players

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Portsmouth. The aim is for this list to include all players that have played 100 or more senior matches for the club. Other players who are deemed to have played an important role for the club can be included, but the reason for their notability should be included in the 'Notes' column.

For a list of all Portsmouth players with a Wikipedia article, see Category:Portsmouth F.C. players, and for the current squad see the main Portsmouth F.C. article.

Table

[edit]

Players should be listed in chronological order according to the year in which they first played for the club, and then by alphabetical order of their surname. Appearances and goals should be for first-team competitive games and include substitute appearances, but exclude wartime matches.

Statistics are up to date as of 27 April 2024.
