Legendary Town keeper Laurie Sivell is this week’s special guest, while members of the Ipswich Town Ladies side which recently beat Norwich City will also be along.

At that time he was one of the shortest keepers in the league, apart I think from Ian McFaul (Newcastle). That did not stop him from collecting crossers into the box and catching them cleanly, something that is very rare now, not so much punching the ball away went on then which was considered a continental trait. The ball was caught cleanly and quickly distributed out to the wings and we had the other team on the defence. His heart and soul were blue and white.We had wingers then!
The only real mistake I saw him make was when attempting to throw the ball out it slipped from his grasp and somehow finished up in our own net against Arsenal away.
Sorry for mentioning that Laurie., but you were a real boyhood hero for me, one of the bravest goalkeepers going.

BillBlue added 12:43 - Feb 23 Laurie's only problem was being around at the same time as PC. In my book the two best keepers ever to wear the Town shirt. Well done Laurie, nice picture.
