5 things you (probably) didn’t know about Portsmouth’s Carl Baker

Over 450 professional appearances

Despite now being 34, making so many appearances as a professional footballer is still rather impressive.

After starting at Southport in 2003, Baker went on to playing for the likes of Morecambe and Coventry City, the latter of whom he turned out 182 times for.

He is also just short of 100 professional goals, a rather remarkable tally for a midfielder.

Six more shots hitting the back of the net will see Baker reach this milestone and Pompey fans will certainly be hoping that he does it by the end of the 2016-17 season!
