Last Posting Date For European Book - Ipswich Town News

Midday on Thursday 20th December is the deadline for purchasing copies of On a European Journey: With Ipswich Town in Europe 1962-2002 signed by Blues legends Kevin Beattie and Mick Lambert via TWTD.

Visit TWTD’s refurbished Shop where copies signed by the pair are available for £16.99 via the publishers Pilgrim Books with UK postage free of charge (it’s now too late to order if you’re overseas). You will also find one or two other Christmas ideas for the discerning Town fan.

The book charts the story of the Blues' 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.

On a European Journey: With Ipswich Town in Europe 1962-2002 is written by David and Philip Houseley, 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.
