Buy Game Changers for Father's Day - Ipswich Town News
If you’re looking for ideas for Father’s Day - Sunday 18th June - why not buy a copy of Game Changers, the excellent book about Town’s Dutch legends Frans Thijssen and Arnold Mühren.
Game Changers, the English version of Het Geheim van Ipswich (The Secret of Ipswich), which was published in the Netherlands last year, recalls Mühren and Thijssen’s time with the Blues under Bobby Robson.
Written by Dutch journalist and Town fan Tom van Hulsen, the book features interviews with Blues figures from that era, including former captain Mick Mills, ex-press officer Mel Henderson and Pat Godbold, secretary to every Town manager from Scott Duncan to George Burley, while van Hulsen also spoke to every member of the UEFA Cup-winning team.
Game Changers is the story of two ground-breaking pioneers in English football, how they helped to turn the Blues into one of the top teams in Europe and paved the way for the many fellow Dutchman who followed them into English football.
Van Hulsen, 52, worked for Voetbal International, the famous Dutch football magazine, for 23 years and was editor-in-chief before becoming a freelance journalist last year.
You can buy a copy of the book for your dad ahead of Father’s Day from TWTD here.
