What’s it like to support a club that has experienced the highs of league titles and European glory as well as the lows of relegation and 9-0 tonkings by Manchester United? To find out you’d need to ask an Ipswich Town fan, and there are few more engaging and entertaining than comedian and writer, Tony Cowards.
Tony’s love for Ipswich was sparked in the 1970s and he’s pretty much seen it all since then, most notably the great team under Bobby Robson that clinched the Uefa Cup in 1981 and came close to being crowned champions and FA Cup winners in the same season. Tony speaks with great warmth about that era, including telling the amusing story of the first time he saw Ipswich play in the flesh.
There’s also an amusing story about being in the away end at Old Trafford for the 9-0, as well as one in regards to the 2000 play-off final at Wembley, which neatly leads onto recollections of the side that finished fifth in the Premier League under George Burley. Just what made them so good? And what the hell was going on with Marcus Stewart that season?! Tony tries his best to come up with answers and explanations.
There’s also chat about the extremely mixed campaign that followed before Tony talks through his all-time Ipswich XI and goes back in time in order to fulfil his fantasy of seeing Gabriel Batistuta play at Portman Road.
So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. It would mean a lot.
Cheers!
