Upson Link Renewed - Ipswich Town News

Town are once again linked with Arsenal's Suffolk-born defender Matthew Upson. Town along with West Ham and Leicester are reported to be chasing the player who has become frustrated at the lack of opportunities at Highbury.

Upson was linked with Town earlier this season and is counted by many as one who got away from the Blues. He played in the same teams as the likes of Richard Wright as a youngster, but instead of joining Town went to Luton before moving to Arsenal in May 1997. 22-year-old Upson has played just 22 starts for the Gunners.

Today's Do You Remember? is one of George Burley's earliest signings. Lee Chapman was brought in as cover for the perennially injured Ian Marshall in 1995. What did you think of his spell with Town? Click the link on the Message Board: http://www.twtd.co.uk/messages
