This is likely a reference to the time Portsmouth-based sailors scaled Pompey's Pillar in Alexandria, Egpyt although there are a variety of other explanations. The star and crescent of the club's emblem are also the symbols of the city of Portsmouth. Fratton Park stadium is named for the neighborhood in which it is located.
