Town Fans Win Champions League - Ipswich Town News

Prior to Saturday’s game at Millwall, eight Town fans were in Soccer AM's Luther Blissett Stand.

Jordan Mitchell, Stephen Bailey, James Cochrane, Rhys Thompson, Sam Stannard, Scott Gidman, Sindre Eliassen and Scott Eade were those taking part and chose the ITFC anthem Edward Ebeneezer Jeremiah Brown to open the show.

"Rather disappointingly, Scott Eade seemed to forget the words and was ribbed by presenter Helen Chamberlain,"Stephen told TWTD. "However, the rest of the songs seemed to go fine.

"At the end, we had to take part in the car park game which consists of five holes representing League Two, League One, the Championship, the Premier League and the Champions League. We had one minute to see what we could 'win' by kicking a ball through each.

"Rhys Thompson got the ball rolling by 'winning' League Two with the first kick. I then secured League One and James Cochrane bagged the Championship and the Champions League, whilst Jordan Mitchell got the Premier League in between.

"Wild celebrations were sparked when James hit the Champions League with eight seconds to spare, which 'angered' Helen Chamberlain who had to repeatedly ask us to get out the way in order to carry on with the show.

"There was no prize apart from pride, only two other teams have managed to 'win' the Champions League. Ex-pro and Soccer AM guest Neil Mellor was thoroughly impressed with the Town supporters’ ability. It was great to get Town back where we belong, Europe!

"We all had a great morning and were pleased to represent our club on live national television. Must thank Simon Milton for providing the socks and shorts and to Jordan Mitchell for sorting it all.”
