78/79 IPSWICH FA CUP WINNERS SIGNED FOOTBALL (19 player autographs 10:00 - May 14 with 856 viewsRudsby1

Hi All, Im hoping some of you can help

my mother passed away last year and my late father had left her some sporting memorabilia Which we are hoping will raise some money for her memorial stone and charity.

Its a White 18 panel football printed the "Ipswich town FC. F.A cup winners"
Its 'Made in England' and marked 'FA & FIFA approved'

It is signed by 18 players plus Bobby Robson the team manager in what appears to be ball point pen. Some of them are close together so its difficult to see From looking on line it looks like players in the 78/79 team line up (a few of them have sadly passed away now)

There are at least 19 signatures on it and the 18 signatures I can make out are:

Bobby Robson, Mick mills, Paul cooper , Laurie Sivell, Russell Osman, Brian talbot,
Allan hunter, Kevin Beattie, Roger Osbourne, Signed as (R.osbourne) Paul Mariner, David Geddes, Trevor Whymark, Tommy Parkin, Clive woods, John wark (signed as Johnny wark) Mick Lambert, Eric Cates, George burley

These are the images
https://ibb.co/MxJzDSv4 (bottom: Whymark, Woods, Burley)
https://ibb.co/qLFBPx36 (rear: Sivell, Parkin, Lambert)
https://ibb.co/fV4hK5ss (side: Cooper, Talbot, Wark, Cates)
https://ibb.co/bgG5f01v (front: Geddes)
https://ibb.co/FLsB9k4B (side: Beattie, Robson, ??????, Osbourne, Mariner)
https://ibb.co/pjmNnf27 (top: Hunter, Osman, Mills)

I cant make out whose the 19th signature on the side (5th image) maybe there is someone here that could I.D the one I cant make out? and would anyone here have an idea of value?

Likely to be Robin Turner, he was a big part of the squad that year.

Sorry for your loss.

I have no idea of the value but hope that it raises a lot for your mum’s memorial and charity. If and when you put it up for auction or sale can you please post details on here.

Poll: Most enjoyable calendar year as an Ipswich supporter

I wasn't sure how he and Bobby Ferguson were titled, so gave a helpful, but slightly vague, answer!

I would contact the Club first and see if they'd be interested...

I think (but may be wrong) that Ferguson was in charge of the reserve team at the time. He was promoted to first team coach/trainer when Lea left.

They didn't want a shirt from the match, so... But that message came via Liz of the supporters club for some reason after very keen initial interest! They have Burleys' (this was Talbots), so maybe she thought, 'Well they've got one, thats enough'?
