To celebrate today’s 30th anniversary of Town’s glorious UEFA Cup triumph, TWTD has 100 of the 1,981 limited edition copies of White Space Design's 1980-81 The Greatest Season in Ipswich Town’s History on sale. The book, written by Mel Henderson, Town's public relations officer at the time, is a superb account of the year in which the club won its only European trophy and just missed out on a treble.
The limited edition copies are produced with a sleeve featuring Sir Bobby Robson and John Wark and a certificate of authenticity. The book costs £19.81 and postage and packing is free to mainland UK addresses.
1980-81 The Greatest Season in Ipswich Town’s History features interviews with all that season’s players, Sir Bobby Robson and Bobby Ferguson, skipper Mick Mills’s top ten matches and top ten goals from the season and much more.
Mills, the man who held the UEFA Cup aloft on that night in Amsterdam, says all Town fans should own a copy: "1980-81 was an incredible season and I was proud to be part of such a great team. If you love Ipswich Town then you will love this book.”
