Town Win Performance of Week - Ipswich Town News
Town's win at Leeds last week was voted Performance of the Week by a panel of Alex Ferguson, Graham Taylor, David Bassett and Barry Fry. The four meet weekly with chairman Howard Wilkinson to decide the winner. The award is sponsored by the Scottish Mutual. Can't be too big a thing as it was announced yesterday and we've only just noticed. This is the first time Town have won the award.
Town manager George Burley said: "We went behind early in the game and it would have been easy for the lads to capitulate away from home against a top club. Instead, they showed great courage to dig deep and fight their way back into the game and I was naturally delighted with the outcome and the fact it won us the award."
