Win The World Cup Baby - Ipswich Town News

Town fan and TWTD reader Euan McCabe is offering his fellow Blues the chance to win a copy of his new book The World Cup Baby.

Euan, a New Zealander, says the book is for everybody, but especially "those who spend every four years of their lives waiting for each World Cup”.

The book also contains liberal mentions of Town throughout, Euan explaining why an otherwise sane and intelligent man from New Zealand became and continues to be obsessed with the Blues.

Extracts of the book are available on Euan's website which can be found here.

One copy of the book is available to the TWTD reader who answers the following question, sends it to bookcompetition@twtd.co.uk before October 21st and is picked at random: what was the name of the New Zealand-born midfielder who made two starts and two sub appearances for the Blues in the mid-nineties?

If you're unlucky enough not to win the competition, you can buy a copy of the book via Euan's website for NZD$30 if you're in New Zealand or NZD$38 (£14.27) if elsewhere, including postage and packing, or as an E-book for NZD$20 (£7.51).
