3,000 Up? - Ipswich Town News

Town will pass the 3,000 mark for home goals as a professional club if they net twice against West Brom on Saturday.

The Blues reached the 1,000 milestone in April 1962 when Ray Crawford netted the second goal in a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. A goal also notable as it clinched Town the League Championship for the first and so far only time.

Paul Mariner notched the 2,000th goal when scoring the third in a 3-2 League Cup win over QPR in November 1983, John Wark having grabbed the previous two.
