There are a host of household names who used to call Fratton Park home before moving on as their careers progressed,
Some have been involved in multi-million pound moves, while others have gone on to have successful international careers.
Here we put together our favourite XI of one-time Blues youth products.
9. LM: Matt Ritchie
The Gosport-born Scotland international spent six years in the Blues’ academy before spending two loan spells at Dagenham & Redbridge and Notts County. The midfielder only made eight appearances for the Fratton Park outfit, all of which came at the start of the 2010-11 season, before joining Swindon shortly afterwards. Ritchie would later move to Bournemouth where he spent three years, before a £12m move to Newcastle in 2016. The former Fratton favourite still plies his trade at St James’ Park but has always expressed his desire to return to PO4. Photo: Phil Cole
10. CAM: Jed Wallace
Despite a slow start to life at Fratton Park following his move as a 16-year-old from Lewes, the midfielder played a key role in Pompey first-team squads between 2013-15. Wallace would score 30 times in 118 outings for the Blues before moving to Wolves in 2015. After an unsuccessful two years at Molineux, the 27-year-old joined Millwall in 2017. He has gone on to be one of the best players at the Den, playing 211 times. Wallace has been linked with some big-money moves as his contract at the Lions enters its final five months.

11. ST: Conor Chaplin
Chaplin has been the only successful striker to be produced by the club since the turn of the century. The Worthing-born forward made his first-team debut against Accrington aged 16 and went on to play 122 times for Pompey, scoring 25 times. The 24-year-old joined Coventry on loan in 2018, before penning a permanent deal the following January. Chaplin joined Barnsley that summer and scored 15 times in two seasons for the Tykes. Chaplin has scored nine times since his summer switch to Ipswich, which also saw him score on his Fratton Park return in October. Photo: The News
