Bircham Linked - Ipswich Town News

The latest player to get a tabloid mention in connection with Town is out-of-contract QPR midfielder Marc Bircham. With cash still short at Portman Road, the Blues will again seek to plunder the Bosman market during the close season.

Part of Frank Yallop's Canada squad, Bircham joined QPR on a free transfer from Millwall in the summer of 2002. Since then he has made 84 appearances, scoring four goals.

Bircham is noted for his garish hairstyles in the colours of the Loftus Road club.
