Burley on Life's a Pitch - Ipswich Town News
Legendary Blues right-back and boss George Burley joins the regulars on Saturday’s Life’s a Pitch, live on BBC Radio Suffolk (12-2pm).
Host Mark Murphy will also be joined in the studio by legend-in-residence Terry Butcher, Tractor Boy and TWTD's Phil Ham.
As well as speaking to Burley about his time as a player and manager with the Blues, this week’s Life’s a Pitch will pay tribute to Kevin Beattie, the show’s legend-in-residence from 2011 until his death in 2018, who made his Town bow on Saturday 12th August aged 18 as the Blues beat Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford.
Songwriter and Town fan George Baker, who was at the game and has penned a new tune and produced a video to celebrate the anniversary, will also be in the studio.
