Which former players (or others involved with the club) do we think ought to be included?
Frank Brogan is our highest goalscorer not to have been inducted, and he was an important member of our promotion-winning team of 1967–68. Colin Viljoen is another who could be included.
Romeo Zondervan played over 300 times for Ipswich, was club captain and was part of the team that won the old Second Division in 1992. Mich d’Avray spent a decade at the club and scored nearly 50 goals — would he be worthy of inclusion?
Then there are players such as Scowcroft, Naylor and Couñago who all played their part, scoring a combined total of 156 goals. And would others such as Doug Rees or perhaps Peter Morris be worthy?
It’ll be interesting to see who else has been selected.
Also, if anyone fancies a laugh... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_City_F.C._Hall_of_Fame |  |

Another I could have mentioned was Alex Mathie, even if only for that hat-trick. | |

Agreed. Youth team to 300+ appearances and a Wembley hero. Get him in. |  |

Hermann being in there surprises me. But surprises me even more he made it ahead of so many others I.e. Magilton only added 2023.

Of the current class of 2023 2024. Morsy, Woolf & Chaplin you'd think in a few years will be added. I know you could argue with all of them but those three are the obvious for me. | |

I will second the Brogan and Viljoen nominations, and considering he was more than a crumb of comfort during some of our less than impressive years, how about Jon Walters ? |  |

Player not mentioned yet, Ian Collard. May only have played around 100 games for Town but was, I believe, Bobby Robson's first signing the start of the greatest era, to date, in the history of ITFC |  |

Fabian Wilnis - 10 years, nearly 300 appearances
Mark Venus - 6 years, play offs, PL
David Johnson 2 - smashing player, loved watching him play. [Post edited 14 Mar 21:16]

A bit left field, but I'd love to see Bartosz Bialkowski.
Three time player of the season and two time players player which for a goalkeeper is amazing.
Morsy from the current crop for captaining us out of League 1 and then continuing the form into the Championship. Sets the standard for others to follow. |  | | |

If they do a Hall of Hobbits he will be top of the list. | | | |

Surely anyone who was in a trophy-winning side should have been honoured by now. Can’t believe Scowie is still waiting - he was voted player of the year in 1999/2000 - when others of lesser ability have already been awarded the accolade. [Post edited 15 Mar 8:45]

He's a name I forgot to mention.
The 11 others from the side that won at Wembley in 1978 are all there, as are the XI from 1962 and the members of the team of 1981.
Geddis ought to be in there seeing as he played in the final and he had a hand in probably the most famous goal in the club's history. | |

Another one is Peter Morris. Dear old Diesel made 249 appearances and was an important part of the club establishing itself in the First Division, then becoming a force. Good player. | | | |

Gavin Johnson another. Youth product. Huge part of the class of 92. Local boy.
Talking of the Class of 92. Is it me or do they get overlooked so many times? The last crop to win a meaningful trophy for the club then had a decent year 1 in the Prem. I'll get down voted galore but I'm so bored of seeing the 70s and 80s players get trotted out on places like Life's a Pitch, over and over again. For anyone under 40 it's tiresome to be reminded of days we had no part in. | |

Gavin Johnson was inducted two years ago. Often it's a case of when they can attend dinners when they're inducted. Re Life's a Pitch TV guests, we try and mix it up. Fabian last week, Kevin O'Callaghan this, Tommy Smith next week. |  | | |

A lot of the timing is about when they can make it to the dinner so they can accept the award in person. For example, last year was the first year Jim came over. It's the ex-players who decide on who gets the awards. | | | |

Craig Forrest, Neil Thompson, Fabian Wilnis, Richard Wright and Luke Chambers for me [Post edited 15 Mar 10:43]

2019 seems a bit of a strange one, JDV and HH inducted before Magilton?
Get Fab and Venus in there asap.
When is McKenna getting in there in all? |  | | |

Seems a bit odd having so many nominated each year - there’s some relative barrel scrapings already
How about a hall of infamy? Plenty of options there.
Or a woke section. - Steve Stacey first ´player of colour’… although the first gay player and chairman are already there…. And Mick Hill lived in a caravan. | |

Seems crazy to be that Ace isn't in there whereas, decent player though he was, O'Callaghan wouldn't even get into my Lobby of Fame.
Incidentally, here's what the EDP has to say while reporting on derby games about a teenage Viljoen:
• February 1968 - Norwich 3 Ipswich 4
A sublime hat-trick from young South African midfielder Colin Viljoen sealed this Carrow Road thriller. The other goal was a collectors' item -- a free-kick from full-back Billy Houghton. Under Bill McGarry, Town were storming to the Second Division title. Viljoen was a key figure for Ipswich for many seasons and played twice for England in the mid-1970s. [Post edited 15 Mar 13:57]
