Held in a sold-out Victory Lounge, Gareth Evans, Kit Symons, Kal Naismith, Richie Reynolds, Mark Chamberlain, Tommy Youlden and Danny Rose all returned to the club they represented with such distinction.
With Ian Darke hosting the event and £2,500 raised to be shared between Pompey In The Community and the Pompey History Society, it proved to be a highly-successful evening.
And here are 33 photographs from the night taken by legendary News photographer Steve Reid.
