The rise of Ipswich Town Football Club since turning professional in 1936 has been like a fairytale. A League Championship triumph at the first time of asking under Alf Ramsey was followed by FA Cup and UEFA Cup glory under Bobby Robson.
The outcome was that both of these football legends left the club to manage the England national team. This book illustrates the remarkable history of East Anglia’s premier side with almost 2OO images from the East Anglian Daily Times and Evening Star’s archive, including action shots, team groups, player portraits and photographs of Portman Road as it has been developed. Tony Garnett, an accomplished football writer who has been covering the team for four decades, provides a thorough caption for each image. Full of evocative images—like the one on this cover of Roger Osborne and Paul Mariner lifting the FA Cup after the 1978 final 1-O victory over Arsenal—it will bring back memories of the greatest occasions in the club’s history. An essential read for anyone with an interest in Ipswich Town, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the past of a top football club.
