On a European Journey: With Ipswich Town in Europe 1962-2002 charts the story of Town's exploits in European competition and the fans' journeys to see them play. From Alf Ramsey's champions, through the Bobby Robson UEFA Cup-winning era, to George Burley's Premiership team and the 'bonus' season under Joe Royle.

The book is written by the brothers responsible for organising supporters' trips during the 70s and 80s, including the UEFA Cup win in Amsterdam in May 1981.

Fully illustrated, including a 16-page colour section, it includes accounts from fans, former coach and manager Bobby Ferguson, managers' secretary Pat Godbold and media commentators.
