Last Chance to Win Johnson Tickets - Ipswich Town News

Over the last few days 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.

To win the final pair of tickets, answer the following question in an email sent to competition@twtd.co.uk arriving before midnight. Which NASL side did Johnson play for towards the end of his career?

The winner, who we’ll announce tomorrow, will be selected at random from the correct answers. The winner of the weekend competition was Peter King, who correctly told us that the Texaco Cup was the only trophy Johnson won during his time with the Blues.

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.
