Black Eyed Smith

Former Rovers player Charlie Smith made the long trek from Perth to Wembley to see Portsmouth win the FA Cup against Cardiff. "This was a once in a life time opportunity and I just had to be there" said Smith "it was well worth the trip and I'll be back next year if when they defend it". Smith didn't get to get his mits on the trophy but got a take away reminder of his own. "I git a bit of a shiner after the match" said Smith "the result of some exuberant post-match celebrations". Smith not known for keeping his trap shut was nonetheless happy to have been their for the big occasion "and a black eye or three isn't going to stop be celebrating in the stlye the occasion deserves". It was unclear at the time of writing if Smith would make the return flight to Perth on time due to him being disoreinetated following excessive alcohol intake.
