That is unfair about Anglia, they give us very good coverage. Their segment on the Nunez transfer was brilliant, David Whiteley was almost p**ing himself with laughter while Becky Jago remained stoically neutral as befitting an Ipswich supporter in her youth. |

While Anglia news could not help laughing. I knew Becky was a fan but David Whitely’s expression was a delight. |

The first match I actually remember, having been to Portman Road and Bury Town with little remembrance, was at Kenilworth Road in March 1953 for Luton versus Bolton in the fifth round of the Cup. Syd Owen had Nat Lofhouse totally under control apart from one cross by Bobby Langton. One nil and the match was over. The next match was John Elsworth’s only hat trick the following October against Coventry. |

They were binned as John Cobbold sided with Robson. Shame as Baxter was a great player for us but there was no alternative. |

Has not appeared in any team. I presume they are saving him for the final u21 match of the season. |

I was on a golf holiday in the Algarve, also there was a doctor who spent some time with the Town. When Finidi came up he just shook his head sorrowfully saying that he told the to check his teeth! |

We were also very lucky on the injury front using, if I remember correctly, just sixteen players. Compton came in early after an injury to Kenny Malcolm the previous season. Dermot Curtis replaced any injured forward, Reg Picket and Aled Owen played about four games between them whilst Wilf Hall capably covered for Roy Bailey five times. I also believe Doug Millward appeared once but in a League Cup match. Times were different in those days even with the ball, rarely was it changed, if it went out of play you waited for it to be returned. Too expensive to waste!
Jimmy Leadbetter was a thinner Scottish Arnold Meurhen. |

Very underrated, I think he would be our first choice if available today in all but footwork which was not a requirement in those days. Against Lazio away I think it was Viljoen that sort cover behind him after scoring, he was a big bloke and the Italians did not fancy their chances. |

Originally several sports were played at Portman Road and the old cricket pavilion was there probably to the seventies serving as the changing rooms. The FL championship pictures of the players in the bath was in there. We even had an English Rugby Union trial there before the war and hockey internationals. The state of the playing surface was second to none. |
