My first Ipswich Team 09:14 - Jan 20 with 8877 views | BlacknGoldnBlue | Thought it would be interesting to list the first Ipswich Team you watched live in person! If you want to say when and who against you can or you can just leave it and see if others can work out when you saw them! Laurie Sivell Terry Butcher Mick Mills Russell Osman John Wark George Burley Steve McCall Arnold Mühren Paul Mariner Alan Brazil Kevin O'Callaghan Mills & Brazil scored! Ipswich won under the floodlights! | |

That was mine too. Aged 11 in the Arsenal end with my dad who’d got tickets from the club he played for at the time. | | | |

My first Ipswich Team on 22:13 - Jan 20 with 1274 views | tractorshark | Cooper Burley Mills Butcher Osman McCall Wark Thijssen O'Callaghan Mariner Gates. 1-1 draw at Brighton in August 1982. I was an Ipswich fan in the Brighton end and remember being in complete awe of our away following in the corner of the Goldstone. [Post edited 20 Jan 2022 22:25]

My first Ipswich Team on 23:43 - Jan 20 with 1205 views | mylittletown | Kenneth Hancock Billy Houghton Derek Jefferson Tommy Carroll Peter Morris Billy Baxter Danny Hegan Colin Viljoen Ray Crawford Frank Brogan Robert Hunt A very, very, good 1-1 draw away from home. Eddie Spearitt replaced Frank Brogan at half time. Ray Crawford scored our goal. A pint to anyone who can identify the game, which was a justification of our right to be in the top division. | | | |

I presume it’s season 1968/69, not least because Crawford didn’t play in the top flight for too long in that final ITFC spell. I could look it up, which would be cheating, so I’ll guess Arsenal away? | | | |

Boom. The last game for Joe Royle, Jim Magilton (as a player), Jay McEveley, Brekke-Skaard and the Plymouth captain Micky Evans. | |

yep! My first game was a belter. My dear old Great Grandad used to go all time as was walking distance from stadium but he couldnt go that game, so my old dear took me in his place. I remember being so overwhelmed by the noise! | | | |

My first Ipswich Team on 09:28 - Jan 21 with 1071 views | RobTheMonk | Town: R Wright, , D Wright, McAuley, Balkestein, Garvan, Miller, Norris (Lisbie 64), Walters, Couñago, Stead (Haynes 72). Unused: Supple, Quinn, A 0-0 at home against Plymouth in 2009 (I'd seen Plymouth play quite a few times due to family down that way, but had never managed to get to an Ipswich game due to other commitments). Tuesday night game and we picked my cousin up from Bedford on the way across. I distinctly remember my friend at the time who was driving, doing 120mph on the motorway back home and me not enjoying it one bit. We drifted apart strangely enough. He was a Wolves fan so probably got the better deal in footballing terms! | | | |

I was at that game. I was 9 then and i remember the Man U fans heading for the exits early an lobbing all sorts of debris into the corner of the west stand from outside. Also pre match, the Town players kicked autographed plastic footballs into the crowd. I managed to catch one that was proudly displayed in my bedroom for ages until it finally perished. TWTD. | |

I was in the East stand with my Mum. My Dad insisted on going to his normal spot in Churchmans! As it was so crowded where I was, the Police allowed kids over the wall and onto the grass by the edge of the pitch, so I was literally inches from the likes of George Best, Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law and Nobby Stiles! Don't remember the autographed balls but I'll never forgot that experience. [Post edited 21 Jan 2022 12:46]

I was at the game and was sitting in the West Stand (Pioneer, Co-op etc). I don’t remember a lot about it tbh. I was at the 4-1 game a few years later and remember that far more. We had a good team by then and the game was shown on Match of the Day, my grandparents had a big colour tv and I was allowed to stay up and watch it! Winning in the 1st Division was normal by then. Sigh. | | | |
