Salmon Landed? - Ipswich Town News
Former Charlton 'keeper Mike Salmon is still weighing up Town's offer of a contract. The 36 year old is required as back up for Richard Wright replacing the Hull bound Lee Bracey. Given that Wright hasn't maissed a game in two years Salmon needs to ponder upon not only the football aspect of the contract, but radio appearance fees from Radio Suffolk. Bracey became a cult hero despite maknig no full appearances for the Town, something of a feat in itself. More developments as the week moves on presumably.
