an ever present during their 1967-68 and 69-70 campaigns he was part of a close knit defence that lived far more modest lives than today 's top stars in january 1972 he moved to portsmouth f.c for # 25,000 and promptly scored his first league goal .
he was to be a regular for four seasons -lrb- albeit a somewhat unconventional one -rrb- until he lost his place to keith viney during the 1976/77 campaign , after which he was very much more of a squad player .
