A plea for help fellow TWTDers. C19 has meant that much university teaching is online at the moment. To keep things "interesting" I'm getting my students to do a quiz in one of the sessions each week. Naturally, I slip in a question on ITFC each week, but I'm starting to run low on facts which might be interesting to non-ITFC fans. Please can you suggest some more facts for me to wow my students with?
This is definitely the most Dollers post I've ever posted. Thanks in advance. |  | | |  |

This is a cracker, thank you. I'll have to rephrase it as they know the question is all about Ipswich.... | | | |

Yeah, might be a bit obvious if they know you're a Town fan!

I've rephrased it like this:
"Ipswich Town Football Club are the only English club to have had a winner of what award amongst their former players?"
Incorrect answers include the Darwin award, "Rear of the Year" and an Oscar. | | | |

I'll probably end up looking a lemon when it turns out Bertrand Russell once turned out for Millwall. | |

How many players in the english football leagues have played in every game of an undefeated world cup campaign?
Not sure if there are many? but I know Tommy Smith played in all the NZ World Cup 2010 games and they didn't get beaten once. |  |

Understood-you meant since football was invented then.
This is not a dig at you but it annoys me that it seems to be a belief that football started in 1992. [Post edited 30 Nov 2020 15:14]

I get your annoyance there!
I just wanted to filter out the top league in case others had won it (like in '66).
I like that NZ were the only team to not lose a single game in the 2010 world cup. | |

Actually just checked that and Butch did not play against Kuwait.
Shilton, Thompson, Wilkins, Rix and Francis also played every game along with Mills and Mariner. | | | |
