From Fratton Park to the Royal Navy, our island home has made a name for itself not limited to the south coast. But if you are a dye in the wool Pompey native then you will be familiar with the city more intimately than just the famous landmarks.

1. Pompey's FC Cup bragging rights
Most of us will remember Pompey's FA Cup win in 2008, but it was our win in 1939 which has cemented our place in history as having retained it the longest. It was the last FA Cup win before the the second world war, making Portsmouth FC the longest holders of the trophy - retaining it for seven years until 1946! Classic pub quiz trivia! | Getty Images
