I was at that Stoke game too, 0-0 at half time IIRC but an amazing second half.
I must also confess to not remembering Stuart however. |  | | |

Stuart scored two and possibly made the best debut I've seen (possibly even to this day).
He was dogsh!te following that though. |
Yep went to vicarage Rd and he scored 2 goals, one after a mazy run (I think?). Was a while ago! Got home and raved to my best mate all week how we'd got this amazing player...wait to you see him! Nx game PR he was indeed pony. But still one of the best debuts in a Town shirt for me. |  | | |

Indeed. I think Wilson was probably our best signing of the whole decade. I was gutted when he left for Chelsea. |
Er Frans Thijssen? |  |

Any excuse to repost this...

I loved that kit. I’ve no idea if I was there - I could well have been, as that was my last season living in Ipswich before clearing off to Uni. I barely remember stuff from games back then - just the occasional phase of play or daft crowd moment. But I vividly remember walking around the practice pitches and the playing with my Dinky cars in the old west stand in the mid-70s when my old man took me to first watch the reserves - the brain is both a wonderful and weird thing. |  |

Romeo is a good call to be fair. Had class to burn.
Wilson was a game changer though. | |

I seem to recall that Wilson was almost a supersub at the start, through there was some reluctance to bring him on, almost a snub to the fans who were calling for him. | | | |

"Jonny Duncan's Blue & White Army. We're so good it's unbelievable".
Sung without any hint of irony. | | | |

Easy to forget the scale of interest in baltacha at the time. Was quite ground breaking. |  |

1. Baltacha v Stoke
2. Stuart v Watford |
I was at both games. Stuart was brilliant at Watford that day. Only played 3 times for us in the end all on loan. |  | | |

Spoke to Kevin Wilson back in the day and he joked that he needed a scarf and gloves because Duncan insisted he stay out wide and he never saw anything of the ball. He was much like our current crop of players a really nice guy and happy to talk to the supporters |  |

My overriding memory of the Duncan era was a certain young Atkinson scoring an amazing hat trick vs Sheffield Weds ( I think), …never seen such power in a young player, and Duncan practically ramming the match ball into his chest as they walked off. The photo shows him doing that and it looks like there was no love lost between them that day. |  |

You mean Ferguson? He never played under Duncan. | |

Middlesbrough was the hat-trick. Astonishing performance that and I can recall that picture of Duncan ramming the ball into his chest being in the evening star on the Monday. He left to join Sheff Weds. [Post edited 10 Sep 2023 11:20]

It was against Middlesbrough including, if I'm remembering correctly, Gary Pallister and a certain Tony Mowbray in central defence? The goals are on YouTube somewhere. | | | |

We stuck a fork in Bradford's auto promotion chances on the last day of the season too.
Boro went up in the play-offs, relegating Chelsea in the process. | |

Definitely remember Baltacha's debut.I was a guest in one of the boxes in the East Stand.Awful (lack of) atmosphere all you could here was the inane chatter of the two St John's Ambulance bods immediately outside.
But Mark Stuart???Whooooo?No recollection at all! [Post edited 11 Sep 2023 14:51]

Saw them a lot back then but that was memorable as I was buzzing after the game at Watford. | |
