Scowy and Sports Psychologist on Life's a Pitch - Ipswich Town News
Ex-Blues and Leicester man James Scowcroft and former Town sports psychologist Ken Way are this week’s special guests on BBC Radio Suffolk’s Life’s a Pitch, which is live over Saturday lunchtime (midday to 2pm). Presenter Mark Murphy is joined by the show’s other regulars, Blues legend Kevin Beattie, football’s youngest pundit Tractorboy and TWTD’s Phil Ham.
While Scowy will be familiar to all, Ken was also at the club under George Burley's management from the start of the 1997/98 season until 2002 and has also worked sportsman and women from a variety of other fields.
Can Town avenge their 6-0 defeat to the Foxes earlier in the season? Can David Nugent manage to score a goal against Town even if he’s out injured?
