Was watching a couple of old episodes of The Big Match [82/83] on BT Sport the other night... no footage or direct mention of Ipswich. But it was interesting to see some of our ex-players Brazil for Spurs; twisting & turning his way past defenders, winning his fair share of headers [against Hansen / Thompson of Liverpool] Mills for Southampton, switching from right to left foot effortlessly when bringing the ball forward Muhren for Manure his trademark first time crosses. Other things worthy of note... This was the season Man City were relegated by Luton, Pleat ran onto the Maine Road pitch to celebrate as Cities hordes invaded. Chelsea just avoided relegation from 2nd to 3rd tier! Given that we had lost Robson, Brazil, Mills and Muhren during pre-season... our 9th place finish was creditable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982%E2%80%9383_in_English_football | |
