On This Day - Saturday 28th April 1962
at 11:18:37

Dear Clive. Thank you for this great reenactment of events in 1962. I love these personal insights into when and how people became Ipswich fans. My own story.... In 1973, when I was nine and grew up in Denmark, I played with two friends on a Saturday. At that time there was a match from England on television every Saturday. My two friends sided with Arsenal. So I chose to side with the opponent - Ipswich. The match ended 1 - 1. This match created my interest in football and made the Ipswich fan I have been ever since. Most people and my friends thought - "Ipswich? Where did that come from?". But soon they would all understand that this was football at its best. On the day of the FA cup victory I would play football with my friends in the afternoon. I still remember this how they came forward to their fellow fourteen years old football friend and shook my hand. Today, it would be "Respect". I still think that this match is fantastic. It was not only that we won - but mainly the way we did so. In fall last year I stayed in Bury for two weeks for a work thing. On the first weekend when my colleagues went to Cambridge, London etc - I went to Ipswich. My first visit to a town that for decades had been my dream. The following weekend I went to see Ipswich - Norwich. In spite of the defeat, this was one of the greatest days of my life. It was great to be with thousands of people who think like I do. On the train from Bury I sat next to an elderly lady (75) and football and Ipswich made us friends. My two sons now wear Ipswich jerseys. As do I. I hope for a great future for the club. But irrespective of where we are and end up - will remain a loyal fan. It has worked well so far, it will in the future as well. Lars

Bialkowski: Talks on 'Agreed' Contract Continuing

A great keeper. It says good things about him (and other players) that he was loyal to MM and TC. Lot of wining. But I enjoyed the interview with Evans. He made it stand out that MM has built a lot of good things (a great academy and scouting for instance) from which the club will profit in many years to come.
