We won 5 games and drew one in April and on the 1st of May we won 2-0 at Southampton and won the League on goal average my uncle scoring the second goal.
Two of those wins were against Norwich ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠[Post edited 23 Nov 2021 8:56]

Looking at the results we were pretty unstoppable from Boxing Day onwards. Two league losses, both towards the end of March, and a handful of draws - all bar one away. Let's hope, as you say, it's an omen. |  |

All we need is a 42 goal striker, clearly! :)
Another factor is that these days those at the top, and in the playoff places tend to do better than in the 56/57 season. Adjusting for 3 points for a win vs 2, Town won that division with the equivalent of 84 points. That's only enough to win the modern League One maybe once a decade, if that.
But certainly, if we can improve consistently on the pitch, the playoffs are not beyond us. Let's see whether Cook can make that happen...

I notice that the New York Times, no less, led the story with this:
IPSWICH TOWN ADVANCES; Beats Southampton Team, 2-0, in English Soccer Match
And so we did advance - for the next half century, anyway! | |

Being nosey (or possibly interested) was your uncle Basil Acres or Jimmy Leadbetter? | | | |

Basil Acres he was unlucky to get an injury which finished his career so missed out playing in the first division the year Town won it. | | | |

Thanks, Westover. '56/'57 was the year before I started coming to Ipswich from Herts. The dad of a school friend of mine was an ITFC supporter and he started taking me as well as his son.
I certainly saw your uncle play a few times the following season. | | | |
