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

Robins: A Point Was the Least We DeservedStoke City boss Mark Robins was delighted with his team’s first-half display but felt quite the opposite regarding their performance in the second as they drew 3-3 at home with the Blues, a controversial 96th-minute penalty having spared his side’s blushes after Town came from 2-0 down at the break to take a 3-2 lead going into injury time.
McKenna: We're Devastated We Didn't Get It Over the LineTown boss Kieran McKenna admitted he had left a devastated and frustrated dressing room following the 3-3 draw at Stoke City, the Potters having grabbed a last-gasp leveller via a contentious penalty, both with the decision and after being unable to see out what would have been their first comeback victory in almost 23 months.
Stoke City 3-3 Ipswich Town - Match ReportTown suffered last-gasp penalty heartbreak of a different variety as Stoke City netted a 96th-minute penalty to claim a 3-3 draw from a topsy-turvy game at the bet365 Stadium. Goals from Milan Smit and Bae Junho in a disastrous final 10-minute spell at the end of the first half gave the Potters a 2-0 half-time lead but an own goal by Eric Bocat and strikes from Jack Taylor and George Hirst looked to have won it until the home side were harshly awarded a penalty after Cedric Kipre and Jens Cajuste tangled with Lamine Cisse in the box and Smit bagged his second of the game from the spot.
Two Changes For Town at Stoke as Nunez Misses OutTown have made two changes for this evening’s game at Stoke City with Jack Taylor and Jack Clarke coming into the team for Dan Neil and Marcelino Nunez, who is absent from the squad due to a hamstring injury.
