Beattie Book Competition Winner - Ipswich Town News
The competition to win a copy of The Greatest Footballer England Never Had: The Kevin Beattie Story has now closed.
Author Rob Finch reprinted a small number of copies of the book after receiving requests from Town fans after Blues legend Beattie died in September, aged 64.
The winner of the book, who told us in an email which was drawn at random that the former England international was born in Carlisle, was Kenny Musgrove.
Rob still has a handful of copies of The Greatest Footballer England Never Had: The Kevin Beattie Story which can ordered directly from him. If you mention TWTD when ordering he will throw in the postage for free. Email Rob via robfinch180@gmail.com and pay through Paypal. A donation from sales will be made to the British Heart Foundation.

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.
