Mings Pays Mum's Debts - Ipswich Town News
Town left-back Tyrone Mings has cleared his mother’s debts as a gesture of thanks for “all the years of hard work” an exchange of messages on Instagram has revealed.
It’s not the first time the 22-year-old has showed his generous side, in March 2013 the former Chippenham Town man supplied match tickets to a "skint” fan and in July last year he offered to buy supporters new shirts after he changed his squad number.
Mings also recently spent time coaching Bury Town Rams U10s after an exchange with their manager John Byford on Twitter.
The Bath-born defender had a busy Tuesday evening, playing the first half of the U21s’ 5-1 victory over Charlton before travelling across town to Greshams, where he took part in the the club’s Legends of Darts night alongside the likes of Daryl Murphy, Noel Hunt, Teddy Bishop, ex-Blue Aaron Cresswell and darts stars Keith Deller and Kevin Painter.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
