This Saturday, the naval cities of Plymouth and Portsmouth go head-to-head as Plymouth Argyle entertain Portsmouth for the first 'Dockyard Derby' in the league in over 20 years.
Their last meeting was on New Years' Day 1992 when the Pilgrims won 3-2 with goals from Robbie Turner, Dwight Marshall and Andy 'Jock' Morrison, whilst Mark Chamberlain, the father of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and future England midfielder Darren Anderton replied for Pompey.
Since then, they have meet three times in very different circumstances.
The first time came in the 1998-99 season, when they faced each other over two legs in a Worthington Cup first round tie, which Pompey won 6-3 on aggregate.
During the 2007-08 season, they met at Fratton Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup. By this time, Pompey were an established Premiership side and Argyle were in the Championship.
Despite the Pilgrims taking an early lead through Chris Clark, Pompey hit back with goals from Lassana Diarra and Niko Krancjar as they secured a 2-1 win as they booked their place in the next round, before eventually going on to win the cup after beating Cardiff City in the final.
The most recent meeting between the two sides came in the first round of the Capital One Cup, when Argyle now back in League Two, after a lengthy spell in Administration, faced what was a virtual Pompey youth side as they were in Administration themselves.
Goals from Wolves loanee, Johnny Gorman, Paris Cowan-Hall and Nick Chadwick booked the Pilgrims' place in the second round, where they were beaten on penalties by Burnley.
With Argyle and Pompey currently 17th and 15th in the League Two table, respective managers John Sheridan and Guy Whittingham will both be seeing Saturday's clash, which is being televised on Sky Sports, as an opportunity to kick-start their individual seasons.
