Updated for 2024, and (hopefully) to coincide with the club’s return to the Premier League, Ipswich Town On This Day is an appointment with those magical days and memorable moments from the club’s illustrious past – with an entry for every day of the year.
From Town's Victorian formation through to the Premier League era, the Portman Road faithful have witnessed promotions and relegations, league and cup triumphs, hard-fought derbies and unforgettable European nights – and they all feature here – along with all-time greats such as John Wark, Ray Crawford, Billy Baxter, Arnold Muhren and Mick Mills.
Revisit 18th January 1969 for Bobby Robson's first game in charge, a 2-2 draw away at Everton. 30th October 1926, when Barclays Bank beat Town 3-1 at Portman Road, but not before the game had been held up to clear an invasion of rats. Or 20th May 1981, that wonderful night that Town won the UEFA Cup in Amsterdam!
Dan Botten is the author of Ipswich Town Miscellany and Ipswich Town On This Day. Dan has followed Ipswich for more than 20 years and has written about them for numerous publications including Observer Sport Monthly, The Irish Times, Shoot! and World Soccer – also contributing interviews to the Ipswich Town: Singing The Blues CD.
