Pompey fans’ last trip to the bet365.com Stadium in October 2025 will go down as one of their darkest hours following the Blues.
However, on April 25, 2026, Adrian Segečić singlehandely helped eliminate memories of that 6-1 defeat for many as he produced a hat-trick showing to ensure the travelling Fratton faithful returned from their latest trip to the Potters in great spirits.
Already buoyed after Pompey secured their Championship safety, 3,024 Blues supporters made the near 400-mile round trip to Stoke City keen to see their side win on the road for the last time this term.
And they weren’t let down as John Mousinho’s side quietened the home end with a superb away showing that had thousands of Stoke fans heading for the exit with plenty of time left on the clock.
The architect of that mass exodus was Segečić, whose three goals in the sunshine took his tally to a hugely-impressive 10 in his maiden season at Fratton Park.
The diminutive Aussie/Croatian lapped up the plaudits as he celebrated in front of an ecstatic away end that were clearly loving their last away game until August.
And we were there to capture the moment as the Fratton faithful saluted a new hero.
See if you can spot yourself or anyone you know from out cracking photographs.
