Busted Star a Town Fan - Ipswich Town News

Charlie Simpson out of spiky-topped pop act Busted has revealed that he is a lifelong Town fan. Simpson, formerly a pupil at Woodbridge School, has even invested some of his cash in Town shares.

Simpson was at Portman Road to look around earlier this week with chairman David Sheepshanks who is a friend of his father.

The 18-year-old was impressed: "It was great having a look around the dressing-rooms and going on to the pitch.

"I was here to see us beat Manchester United 3-2 eight years ago which was fantastic because my brother supports United, and I also went to Wembley.

"It was brilliant to be there and I can remember coming back down the A12 with all the Ipswich flags hanging down from the bridges.

"Ipswich has always been my club since I was growing up and the share issue is a good chance to get involved in Town."

Simpson has yet to make a game this season but hopes to do so soon.
