Chairman on McGarry Death - Ipswich Town News
Town chairman David Sheepshanks has paid tribute to former manager Bill McGarry who died earlier today. McGarry managed the Blues between 1964 and 1968, taking Town to the old Division Two title.
Sheepshanks said: "We are very sad to hear of the death of Bill McGarry and on behalf of everyone connected with Ipswich Town Football Club would like to express our condolences and send our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
"Bill McGarry served this club well as a manager from 1964-1968, culminating in promotion to the old First Division before leaving us to become the manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"As a mark of respect, the club's flags will fly at half-mast for 24 hours."
There will be no minute's silence at Town's game at Gillingham and the team will not be wearing black armbands.
