Extraordinary career that man (Mike Smith) had. Corinthian Casuals as a player, then manager for the Conference of English Grammar Schools before getting the Wales job. |  | |  |

Wikipedia has him as playing no full internationals, only a couple of U21. But in those days I don't think U21 was even a thing, (it was U23), so Wiki may be wrong. |  | |  |
Who remembers when Cyril Lea on 22:23 - Nov 29 with 1461 views | Vic | Must admit that I’d never realised that he also played for Town, making over 100 appearances. And looking at a list on wiki I noticed that Mich D’Avray played more than 250 times. That’s more than Alan Brazil. |  |

I thought he played in one of the Home Internationals. If he didn't, I'm sure he was in the squad (although that wouldn't have given him a cap back then). |  | |  |

Mich D'Avray. Made his debut for Ipswich with Arnold Muhren, and played his last Town game with Glenn Pennyfather. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

And the reason why we didn't sign Ruud Guillt. Well, why would you? |  |

That stat just about sums up our decline in that period. And it hasn’t got a lot better since (apart from a blip 8n the late 90’s, early naughties); pretty much down hill all the way - until now. Blimey, that’s a sad thing isn’t it - gradual decline since the mid 80s! [Post edited 30 Nov 2022 19:06]
