Obviously his very sad end is in the news, but here’s the Dalian I want to remember. One of the most gifted players to wear our shirt.

Dalian Atkinson is high on the list of incredible Ipswich players that I have been lucky to see play.

His star certainly burned bright.

I was at that game . DA was bloody awesome - such power for a youngster . There’s a photo of John Duncan handing Dalian the match ball , begrudgingly. There was bad blood between the two for sure. But he couldn’t keep a talent like that out of the side. Dailian left us in the summer.

RIP Dalian

Here’s that photo, alongside a few others. The greatest individual performance at Portman Rd, for me Clive.

He stayed for another season after the Middlesbrough game.

A 5 grand signing on fee and a Lancia Montecarlo did the trick. He told me this story in 2010, the last time I spoke with him. He was a character.

Left the Summer after, '89. Brilliant performance that, as good as any individual at Portman Road.

He had everything. He should have played for England. One of the most exciting players I’ve ever seen in my 40 odd years supporting the Town.

I was lucky to be at that game too, remember it well and one of my fondest Portman Road memories. I think he used to live near Defoe Road, often saw him around Fircroft Rd shops, would always say hello to us school kids.
