David Sheepshanks has said that the club will pay tribute to a fan who died in a fire earlier in the week. Rob Giles, 18 and friend William Stokes, 19 were both killed as fire swept through Giles' Felixstowe home.

Giles was a member of local band Boot 50 and had written a song inspired by Town's success entitles There Are The Days. They had hoped to perform this at Portman Road.

Sheepshanks said: "I was very, very sad to hear of this tragedy and, if the other members of the band get in touch with the club, we will endeavour to do something appropriate in his memory."

Fans and friends had left messages on the band's website: www.boot50.com

Last night saw the UEFA Cup reunion at Portman Road with many of the stars of 81 present. Paul Mariner flew in from Arizona especially while Paul Cooper came in from Tenerife where these days he works in golf.
