Win More Johnson Sporting Dinner Tickets - Ipswich Town News

Throughout the week TWTD has been offering readers the chance to win five pairs of tickets to the sporting dinner featuring 1970s Blues striker David Johnson at Greshams in Tuddenham Road on Friday 14th September (7.15pm).

The man known as Jonty was at Portman Road between 1972 and 1976 and also played for Liverpool, Everton, Manchester City and Preston, as well as winning eight full England caps and scoring six international goals.

In addition to entertaining and occasionally painful tales from Johnson’s career, there will also be a five-course meal and top comedian Mike Lancaster, while ex-Blue Simon Milton will be the MC.

You can hear Johnson talking about his time with Town and with former team-mates Kevin Beattie and Trevor Whymark on last Saturday’s Life’s a Pitch here (01:07:00).

To win the fourth pair of tickets, answer the following question in an email sent to competition@twtd.co.uk arriving before midnight on Sunday. What was the only trophy the club won while Johnson was with the Blues?

The winner, who we’ll announce on Monday when we’ll be giving away another pair of tickets, will be selected at random from the correct answers. Yesterday’s winner was TWTD forum regular Heathlander, who correctly told us that Lazio were the opponents when Johnson suffered his infamous scrotum injury.

If you don’t want to wait to see whether you win the competition, a single ticket costs £35, while a table of 10 is £320. All prices are inclusive of VAT.

To reserve or purchase tickets, please call or email
Mark on 07813 919655 or mark@mccontracts.co.uk
or Barry on 01473 250816 barry@greshamsclub.com.
