1 Early years
  (1898 - 1911)
Back on track (1980 - 1988)

Pompey were promoted back to the Third Division in 1980, and reached the Second Division in 1983 when they won the Third Division title.

Under Alan Ball's management, Pompey narrowly missed winning promotion to the First Division twice before finally succeeding in 1986-87. However, they were unable to establish themselves back in the top flight and were relegated after just one season. The summer of 1988 saw Deacon sell the club to London based businessman and former QPR Chairman, Jim Gregory.
