Pompey's business communications partner OneCom have helped source the latest addition to the squad... a 37-year-old father of two!

Fireman Stu Carpenter won his honorary place in the Blues' 2014/15 squad after being entered into a free prize draw with the Whiteley-based company, and he was formally introduced to players, staff and fans before Saturday's game with Wycombe.

This video contains a condensed sequence of the surreal events that Stu enjoyed courtesy of OneCom, from collecting his kit and personal squad number, to meeting manager Andy Awford and walking out onto the famous Fratton Park pitch ahead of kick-off.

Major sponsor OneCom paid £5,000 for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with all funds going towards the Blues’ successful Tifosy fanfunding campaign, and Avid Pompey fan Stu - who works as a fireman at Heathrow Airport - was the lucky winner chosen at random.
