Reuser Returns - Ipswich Town News

Former Blue Martijn Reuser says he is looking forward to returning to Portman Road for Richard Naylor's testimonial early next season. The Dutchman is one of two interview stars in issue 82 of TWTD.

Reuser said: "I'm coming back for it, I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't been back to Ipswich since the move.

"That summer [2004, when he left the Blues] I went back to Holland on holiday and my stuff was still in England as I still had a year left on my contract.

"Then I went to Willem II, signed a contract, came back for one day to pick up my stuff and I haven't been back since, because I've been busy with my new club and my children, and I only have one day off a week.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing old faces, everyone is coming back."

Naylor's testimonial has been pencilled in for Saturday, 2nd September. Already Titus Bramble and Kieron Dyer have been announced as amongst those playing in a team based around the 2000 promotion squad.

Reuser, who agreed to join RKC Waalwijk on a free transfer for the next two seasons earlier this week, talks about life at Portman Road and his time in Holland since his return.

Also featured in the new TWTD, on sale around the ground before the Stoke game, is keeper Shane Supple.

A TWTD subscription is still available at pre-price hike levels until tomorrow via www.twtdonline.co.uk. There is also an option to get TWTD for free.
