What are your favourite Ipswich ones excluding the Semi Final against West Brom’ and the Final against Arsenal. In days gone by when the F.A Cup was paramount in every clubs calendar, this tie has always stood out to me. Fifth round against Aston Villa at home in 1975 was a corker. They were chasing promotion from division two at the time and were a goal to the good at the interval. They then increased their lead only for us to stage a fantastic comeback to triumph 3-2. End to end excitement. I vividly remember some Villa lads giving my dad some grief on the way back to the car, he smiled and shook the big fella at the front’s hand and said well done, hope you have a good journey home and all the best for the rest of the season. He was speechless and turned away taking his little posse with him. Ipswich 3-2 Aston Villa. Att. 31,297 Bobby McDonald and Alun Evans scored for the Villians. David Johnson and a brace from Bryan Hamilton for Town.
We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub.

I remember being very excited for Villa in the mid 90's, the first year I really remember properly following Town as a 7 year old. 5th round, felt like a big one at the time even of course without knowing we wouldn't get that far in the competition again until I could legally drink.

Was at that game and as you say was an absolute cracker. For me the 4 games against Leeds will always live in the memory especially the final one at Filbert Street which I was lucky enough to be at. Will never forget wood’s banana shot.

Cant find highlights anywhere but Ipswich Liverpool the round before that Villa game
Bearing in mind we were both riding high in the league it was billed as the tie of the round. Got to PR about 12 too make sure we'd get in, the attendance was something like 35000 but felt a lot more
We won it late on with a Mick Mills shot, or maybe a mis hit cross.

Yep it was Mills who got the goal can’t really remember but thought it was toe poke effort but might be entirely wrong as memory is not what it was. Really thought that was our year having beat both Leeds and Liverpool but then somebody else had other ideas at Stamford Bridge.
1981 quarter final against Forest at the city ground. 3-3 and then a 1-0 win at Portman Road with a great Muhren volley at the Churchman’s end. That replay, yet another game in a gruelling season may have cost us the league. We’ll never know for sure but we were better than “just” UEFA cup winners that year.
I really enjoyed the five-minute spell at Bramall Lane in 2003 when we came back from 3-0 down to 3-3. Bit of a shame to lose the game in the last minute, but still a great away day.

I was behind the goal in that tiny little stand and the ball curled in right in front of me. Great moment.
Thought our name was written on it. But thanks to Clive B£#@&£# Thomas, it wasn’t to be

What a run that was, Liverpool, the holders and probably the best side , Leeds, should’ve beaten Munich to win the European cup(bit of a Clive Thomas ref) but couldn’t beat little Ipswich, and that comeback. Villa semi was a bit dull, and then that twonk decided he knew offside better than the linesman. And we got him again at Highbury in 78’! He also did Luton when Butcher was badly injured in 82.
