Craig Denies Testimonial - Ipswich Town News

Former Town keeper Craig Forrest has denied yesterday's reports claiming that the Blues and West Ham had agreed to play a testimonial for him in the new season.

The reports initially appeared in a London paper, but Forrest says the game is yet to be confirmed: "Nothing has beeen finalised, and I have not even spoken to Ipswich - so I don't know where these stories come from."

Forrest, who is also reported to have retired from playing, spent 12 years with Town before moving to Upton Park.
