If you’re planning to buy All to Play For, the new book about George Burley’s time as boss of the Blues, for a fellow Town fan this Christmas, you still have a few more days in which to do so online.
With a combined total of 913 matches as player and manager, Burley has been involved in more matches than anyone else in Ipswich Town’s proud history.
In All to Play For, the former Scotland international full-back and manager provides comprehensive insight on his time in charge of the club he loves so much.
Burley discusses how it felt to be a player under the legendary Sir Bobby Robson and provides fresh analysis on his eventful eight-year reign as manager, including his thoughts on all the main players and memorable matches from his time in charge at Portman Road.
In addition, there are interviews with 20 of those who played under him between the years of 1994 – 2002. A period which culminated in promotion at Wembley in 2000 and then finishing fifth in the Premier League the following season.
Burley’s wife Jill is also among those interviewed along with former chairman David Sheepshanks, journalists who covered his team, while there’s a stats section, a look back at club’s commercial activity and George selects his dream team from the 101 players who wore the Blue shirt under his management.
The standard edition is still available online for delivery in time for Christmas until Tuesday 17th December. You can order copies via TWTD here.
You can read a review of the book by Town-supporting Guardian European sport correspondent Nick Ames here, while you can watch George and his skipper Matt Holland talking about it here.
