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.

Will Town beat the MK Dons? What have you made of the season up to now? Where do the Blues still need to strengthen?
