What became of Jimmy, Jock and Lewis after war

Born in 1915, “Jock” Anderson joined Pompey from Stobswell in 1933 and played 90 first-team games for Portsmouth, scoring 42 goals.

Anderson scored seven goals in six games on the road to Wembley, earning a place in Pompey’s Hall of Fame.

Following the outbreak of the Second World War, regional league competitions were set up with guest players recruited on the basis that they happened to be stationed nearby.

Anderson turned out three times for West Brom as a guest and joined Aldershot in 1946, where he played four games.

He later played and captained Newport (Isle of Wight) in the Hampshire League following his short spell at Aldershot.

Anderson became player-coach of Chichester City before hanging up his boots.

He later ran a pub near Fratton Park until 1972 and was a regular spectator before his death aged 71 in 1987.

Lewis Morgan was born in Cowdenbeath in 1911 and represented Scotland at schoolboy level, and played for various Scottish junior clubs before joining Dundee in 1931.

He transferred to Portsmouth in 1935, playing mostly at left back.

After the war he joined Watford, playing 50 league games for them before joining Chelmsford City.

He died in 1988 aged 77. Jimmy Guthrie was born in Luncarty in 1912.

He played for Luncarty City Boys, Perth Thistle and Scone Thistle before joining Dundee in 1932.

In August 1937 he signed for Pompey but a car accident later in 1939 and the suspension of competitive football during the war put an end to his playing career.

He was active in the players’ union and was a former chairman.

His book “Soccer Rebel”was published in 1976.
