Alan Brazil turns 60 this weekend.... total Town legend and best broadcaster 02:53 - Jun 12 with 4056 viewsBluedandy

in UK....loves Ipswich with heart and soul..

Had my photo taken with him at a PGL soccer course in 1981 and boy what an athlete.

Luckily witnessed his debut as a second half sub against Man Utd in 1979-80...okay it was a drab nil nil but the hair was something else.

Five goals in one game against Southampton won't be bettered...

I saw him on Christmas Eve last year in the Marquis in Layham. He had to ring his missus to come and pick him up.

He can tell some very funny stories about his time at the club. Stuff he said he couldn't put in his autobiography.

If you had your photo taken with him now, it would need to be using a wide angle lens.

I saw his 5 goal salvo against Southampton. Great night that was. He should have had 6 but unselfishly tried to get D'Avray on the scoresheet.

I still find it hard to believe he packed in at 27/28 but seeing him outpaced by Butcher at Portman Road when he was playing for Coventry was possibly the writing on the wall.

Did you get in a drinking competition with him?

That would explain why you cannot remember if anyone else was there or not!!

I was there too and I'm sure D'Avray should have had at least a hat-trick, the number of times Brazil unselfishly set him up.

He was a great finisher. Great company when he owned the Slack Bladder for a short time too!

Spurs and ManU fans probably would argue you could even call Alan Brazil a footballer.

That's quite the stretch there to turn a joke about Alan's 'James Whale for thickos' schtick on the radio into 'booo down with Ipswich' there, chuckles.
