I know, so did I! I just had to look up the same thing.
9 Ipswich players played on 24th and 25th.

The state of that QPR pitch too. It's a wonder we got a draw but it looks like Wark & Mariner dragged us back to 3-3 from 3-1 down.
And then 2 days later the same 11 battered Norwich 4-0.
Absolute legends. |  | | |

Were shiny and German
Distinctly at odds with

We did. I went to the first game with a West Ham supporting gf and her father.I think it was played at lunchtime and David Cross scored at least once. We were terrible.
I went to the QPR game the following day with my dad. It was before that game that Bobby Robson told my dad to p£ss off. Oh how I laughed. My dad had barked the question at him without even an ‘excuse me, Bobby’ and got what he deserved. He never forgave BR and wanted to break the finger off his statue for years as vengeance. 😀😀😂😅🥲
I know we also did the Norwich game, but I remember absolutely nothing about it.
It was a funny old season. |  | | |

Pretty sure David Cross got a hat trick which led to a headline along the lines of “Hot Cross makes it Bad Friday for Ipswich” in one of the papers the next day. | | | |

Looked it up - you are spot on! All I remember is the humiliation of being in the home end and getting ever more depressed as the game went on. And I had to put a brave face on it for the gf. | | | |
