Interesting to see that Bonne said playing for the team he supports would make a difference. Got me thinking about other players who came back to Town
Obviously two that stand out to me are Johnny Wark and Tommy Miller who came back to Town after spells away (Wark twice) and did really well when they came back. But then others - Dozzell, Ambrose, Scowcroft, Scott Loach and unfortunately John Walters didn't fare all that well
From a fans POV do we put too much pressure on them or so we just have rose tinted views of them as they were 'Town' players
Do we think Bonne will get more time than others because he is Ipswich lad ? |  | | |  |

I think some that haven't faired well have come back when their career was on the decline, so either they haven't been good enough, or they havent lived up to how we remember and expact them to play.
Bonne is different, as he comes to us at a good age, when his career should be on the rise. This would be most akin to someone like Tommy Miller. Where upon his initial return, most had no memory of him and no preconceptions, beyond the standard hype.
I don't expect him to have special treatment, as he supports Town. But I think he could cultivate that over time, if he does well to begin with. [Post edited 27 Jun 2021 23:08]

Stuart Slater is a good comparison as he was genuinely a Town fan coming back home though he'd never played for us before.... shame it didn't really work out for him as there was no doubt in my mind he really was giving his all for his team. |  | | |

Pablo did okay on his return.
Joe Broadfoot had two spells with us in the sixties but in the second of them he was poor. |  |

I can’t think of any other player in this Slater / Bonne category, - players who are stated Town fans and sign for the club having started their career elsewhere. One who seemed very possible is Sam Walker. As a keeper, he’s still got a few years to make the dream happen. |  | | |

Scott Loach? Came with a good reputation and known to be a big Town fan, unfortunately never quite lived up to expectations. |  | | |

He really was never as good as the hype around him even when he was playing for the u21's.
Probably proven by the fact he's found his level in the lower leagues and isn't a stand out. |  | | |

ALB was a yoof here before being signed as emergency cover when Wrighty got injured.
ALB got a hard time for fans, but he never let us down and our record over the games that he played for us was decent. |  |
