Town Ex-Players Dinner - Ipswich Town News
A host of stars from Town's past will be back at the club tonight for the annual ex-players' dinner.
The dinner has been going for a number of years, but Town have decided to follow the lead of a number of other clubs by forming an ex-players association, chaired by Bryan Hamilton.
Amongst the players attending will be many of the locally based ex-Blues as well as former full-back Frank Yallop, who is back in England training with his Canada squad and Ian Atkins, currently suspended by club Oxford United.
Town legend John Wark won't be in attendance as he is at the Home International Masters in Cardiff representing Scotland. Former striker Kevin Wilson is also there representing Ireland.
