Just saw this post on the Twitter and someone replied with Kevin Beattie.
A non Ipswich one which came to mind for me and someone I'd have loved to have seen play for us in his prime is Matt Jansen from Blackburn.
I would put Teddy Bishop on the list as I think he'd have pushed on so much more if not for all the injuries. |  |

Micheal Owen.
He was never the same after pulling up lame when through on goal at Elland Road one time. |  |

Billy Clarke.
Gerard Nash Would have made it but for injuries.
Kieron Dyer - would have played for Man U when they were great and would have won 100 caps. |  | | |

For an Ipswich-centric one then how about Reuser?
He would have probably been too good for us if he hadn't had the bad knee injury.
Imagine a fitter and faster Reuser. He played 24 times for Ajax in the 95 season and 22 times in the 96 season and just look at this squad he had to compete with:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994%E2%80%9395_AFC_Ajax_season
The other midfileders he was playing with included: Davids, Overmars, Rijkaard, Seedorf, Finidi, de Boer.
"Born in Amsterdam, Reuser began his career at Dutch club Ajax and, having joined at youth level, made the step up to play in the first team. He was a skilful, goal-scoring midfielder who looked capable of being a permanent fixture in the Dutch national setup. His career was looking very promising, but he suffered a serious knee injury, which appeared to end his Ajax career. He moved to another Dutch side, Vitesse Arnhem. It was here that Reuser made his one and only international appearance against Ghana in a friendly. He did not really hit it off at Vitesse and was re-signed by Ajax."

One for the aged people: Ian Collard.
He was a midfielder at the club 1969-1976. He had about 90 appearances in that time. He was a good player that would have played a lot more, but for injury. |  | | |

Santi Cazorla. Brilliant little player who had constant ankle injuries and still managed to get himself back into the Spainish national team at the age of 34. |  | | |

Didn't he also get a bad knee injury while playing for England at one point? |  |

It's always said his injury affected him so much, and I'm sure it did, but would he have ended up being a much different player to the one he is now?
He's always accused of going missing and not being physical enough, is that a result of that injury? Genuine question. |  |

Crawled to the sidelines.
He's said himself he was never, ever the same after Elland Road - was 'always' on his mind when sprinting that it would go again and from thereon in, played within himself.
I think people forget just how good/ quick he was prior to that sometimes. | |

For me, yeah, I think it had much more of an impact than was ever publicly said. | |
