'Sunday sesh' - the Portsmouth players who've agreed to have a pint with fans when lockdown is over

While the country adheres to stringent measures to quell the coronavirus outbreak, it's fair to say people will be flocking to the pubs when it’s again safe to do so.

Whether it’s a pre-match pint ahead of a trip to Fratton Park or couple after work on a Friday night, boozers throughout the PO postcode area won't be short of customers when they reopen their doors.

And some Pompey players gave agreed to join members of the Fratton faithful for a long-awaited pint when that's the case.

Twitter account Footy Accumulators (@FootyAccums) asked fans which footballer past or present they'd go for a pint.

Blues supporters responded with some of their favourite members of Kenny Jackett’s squad – and they seem just as keen.

Andy Cannon admitted a scoop is long overdue and even said he'll bring Ronan Curtis with him.

The former Rochdale midfielder wrote: ‘Forgot what one tastes like but yeah when the time is right sure @RonanCurtis1 wouldn’t mind coming along too long overdue.’

Sundays are usually a designated day off for the players having usually been in action the day before.

That’s when 14-goal top scorer John Marquis fancies a sup – and hopefully celebrating netting the match-winner.

Like Cannon, the striker also said he’d get a few of his team-mates to accompany him. .

Marquis wrote: ‘Be all over it Sunday sesh when lockdown is over will bring some of the boys along.'

Christian Burgess is regularly spotted in the city and has embraced life on the south coast.

The popular centre-back has been helping out Heart of Hayling Boxing Academy deliver prescriptions to elderly and vulnerable people across the island during the suspension of the campaign.

One pint might not be enough for Burgess, though, as he wrote: ‘Rather have ten’, before quipping ‘10 halves obviously.’
