Wark; Don't Run! - Ipswich Town News

"Fame, fame fatal fame it can play hideous tricks on the brain" The Smiths once sang and today several regulars on the TWTD Message Board are experiencing some of the neuro-chemical imbalances Morrissey referred to. Enfield Blue, Romford Blue and True Blue are all quoted in our caring, sharing Star today condemning yesterday's shock departure of Town legend John Wark.

Enfield Blue spoke for many Town fans when he/she said: "Aarrggh! Wark the Portman Road legend. I am completely devastated. How the hell can the club let someone of John Wark's experience leave to go to tinpot club like Portsmouth? They guy has more knowledge of the game than anyone at the club and is wasted in the position of scout."
