The Game of Loans! Random loans from down the years... 14:43 - Aug 16 with 8655 views | midastouch | It's sometimes felt like a Game of Loans at Ipswich. Feels almost like we've had more loans than Wonga dished out (at a hefty cost!) during Boy George's (real name - or at least born as - Gideon Osborne) years of harsh austerity! So anybody want to chip in with some random loans we've had down the years? I expect most will be memorable for all the wrong reasons! We've been blessed with a few good ones (Fraser, Bullard and Lawrence spring to mind immediately) but seems we've had more than our fair share of cast offs! I'll start with Samassi Abou and Paolo Vernazza! Sorry if we've been here before but if so I'm afraid I missed out on any prior ITFC Games of Loans / Top Trumps. | |

Wow, some real stinkers there! Will keep me up at night remembering some of those! :-) Not all total stinkers to be fair but definitely more bad than good overall from that lot! | |

Paul Cooper was actually on loan to us in 1974. It was only a 1 game loan, but I think he was the first. | |

Similar to DJ Campbell. 10 goals in 17 games for us (has there been a better return from a loan player?) then only scored two more goals in his pro career. | | | |

The Game of Loans! Random loans from down the years... on 00:18 - Aug 17 with 2038 views | Bassett_Blue | Off on a slight tangent having thought about, we have loaned back a few players that were once good for us but weren't great when they came back. The following spring to mind; Jason Dozzell Richard Wright Kieron Dyer James Scowcroft | | | |

The Game of Loans! Random loans from down the years... on 02:44 - Aug 17 with 2002 views | harlingblue | Love the name of this post. Grand Master Mick was the ace of this game, he got us loaned gems and unearthed a few of his own, but his staunch follower fans, he ignored. Man Utd away in a Cup game while we were top of our league comes to mind, 8000 fans were at Old Trafford to then have a Reserve team to fight our cause. Downhill from there, we lost in the playoffs and then struggled as a Championship team. | | | |
The Game of Loans! Random loans from down the years... on 02:49 - Aug 17 with 1999 views | gainsboroughblue | The first loanee I can remember was Alan Sunderland circa 1984, who actually signed a permanent deal later on that year. Other names that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet. Mark Burchill Ian Juryeff (prolific at Orient, looked a right carthorse here) Scott Houghton (really wanted us to sign him) Jonathan Hunt John Moncur Andrew Legg [Post edited 17 Aug 2019 2:51]

Andrew Legg had a monster throw I seem to recall, can't remember too much else about him though to be honest! | |
