Team of 2000 to Return - Ipswich Town News

Richard Naylor is planning to reunite Town's 2000 promotion-winning side for his testimonial match. Naylor says several people have suggested the victorious play-off side should take on the current team on his big day.

Naylor said: "A number of people have suggested we bring the promotion-winning side back to Portman Road. I am still in touch with most of the players and it is something that could well work out. It would be great if it could.

"Much might depend on the date and it looks as though it might be next season before the match can be played.

"Playing at Wembley against Barnsley and scoring one of the goals has to be one of the highlights of my career."

Another possibility for the testimonial match is a visit from SPL leaders Celtic.
