TWTD reader and lifelong Town fan Dan Botten has published a new book Ipswich Town: On This Day, from which we will be taking extracts throughout the week. We'll also be running a daily competition in which you can win a copy.
Ipswich Town: On This Day, which we reckon is an ideal stocking filler for Town fans everywhere, charts, on a day-by-day basis, the major events in the club's history. It includes individual entries for every day of the year, plus multiple listings for busier times, as promotions, relegations, sensational signings, important matches and unique trivia are covered.
