Peddelty on Life's a Pitch - Ipswich Town News

John Peddelty is the star guest on Life’s a Pitch at lunchtime today on BBC Radio Suffolk (midday to 2pm). Host Mark Murphy will also be joined by legend-in-residence Kevin Beattie and New Tractorboy.

Central defender Peddelty came through the youth set-up at Portman Road during Sir Bobby Robson’s time in charge at the club and made his senior debut in January 1973.

Bishop Auckland-born Peddelty went on to make 50 first-team appearances for the Blues, scoring six, goals before joining Plymouth Argyle in October 1976 along with Terry Austin in the deal which saw Paul Mariner move the other way.
