Sure is a long time ago, I was 21. I remember jumping on the train after that game to London to meet with my (then) girlfriend. Lived all over since then, worked all over, way too much to even begin to remember. Pretty much everything that could change has changed for me, marriage & kids, all that. Largely for the better. Plus a few constants I'm still very grateful for.
From a footballing perspective to think of all that sh1t we've been through as a club. Very nearly beat them in 2018 with that Chambers goal though, how we didn't hold on to that after going 1-0 up in the 90th minute I'll never know.
Long overdue payback, I hope we absolutely tear them a new on on Saturday. |  | |  |

I've got older, fatter, and lost more hair!
Lost both parents
Dog died too
I saw my daughter and family move to Leicester for son in laws work
Have had more grandchildren who are the light of my life
The government finally called an Inquiry into the worst-ever NHS tragedy,the contaminated blood issue
Myself and daughter were called to give evidence at The Contaminated Blood Inquiry
I'm living the dream with ITFC at the moment something I thought I would never see again as those years rolled by! [Post edited 14 Dec 2023 22:22]

What a weird and wonderful Ipswich team that day, Wright in goal with Bart on the bench, Campo and Dos Santos playing for Ipswich in a side also featuring Pim and Shumi, Shumi starting over Garden, two of our most average players ever, Ben Thatcher playing for Ipswich and Alan Lee playing for Norwich who were being managed by Bryan Gunn. |  | | |

Barring the Covid season, I've only missed 23 competitive ITFC games, so my enjoyment has changed a lot in that time | |

2009 - Daughter born (second child)
2010 - Company I worked for bought out and I had to tell five great colleagues they were being made redundant (still the worst day of my professional life)
2011 - Moved to new role with global advisory firm
2014 - Moved on secondment to Australia for '2 years'
2016 - Became a permanent resident in Australia, sold our house in UK, and built a house in Australia
2017 - Joined a growing Australian consultancy to set up a new practice
2020 - Became an Australian citizen
2023 - Left consulting firm having grown the practice from zero to $3-4million of annual revenue - to take on an Exec role at one of Australia's largest health services
Gained a few pounds and some grey hairs but thankfully haven't lost any hair yet.
The only constants through that time were my son (now 18), my beautiful wife (25th wedding anniversary next year) and ITFC.
I'm so grateful for Gamechanger and KMac - it was getting harder and harder to stay up until 1/2am to watch the live stream of the rubbish we were serving up before 2022. | | | |
