Win Books Signed by Roger Osborne - Ipswich Town News

Breedon Books have offered TWTD readers the chance to win one of three copies of Mel Henderson's new book Ipswich Town: The 1978 FA Cup Story, signed by Roger Osborne. TWTD is also exclusively offering you the chance to buy a copy of the book inscribed by Town's Wembley goalscorer.

Mel Henderson was the club's public relations officer in 1978 and was amongst those sitting on the bench at Wembley, giving him a unique insight into the squad that day and throughout the run to the final.

The book contains details of Town's road to the Twin Towers, which features a round-by-round review and full, detailed biographies of all 12 Wembley heroes, as well as exclusive interviews giving a view from inside the dressing room.

To win one of the signed copies, tell us who then opposition leader Margaret Thatcher, who watched the game from the Royal Box, named as the man of the match via email to competition@twtd.co.uk before Tuesday 3rd June. The winners will be drawn at random from the correct answers.

If you can't wait to get hold of a copy or never win competitions, you can buy one signed by Roger here.
