TWTD Questionnaire 2018/19

No surprise that Beat pips his old team-mate John Wark as TWTD readers' favourite player.

A true great in his playing days and a familiar and friendly face at Portman Road in the years since his retirement, particularly since Life's a Pitch has been broadcast from the ground, Beat remains much missed by all. The statue, which should be in place by the time this survey is carried out next summer, will be a fine and well-deserved tribute.

Elsewhere, Paul Mariner leaps ahead of latter-day fellow strikers Marcus Stewart and Pablo Couñago into fourth behind Matt Holland, a fixture behind Beattie and Wark - who had taken top spot in the last few years - in third.

Of last season's players, skipper Luke Chambers got 28 votes and Bartosz Bialkowski 12.

Balint Bajner remains one fan's favourite player of all-time, as does Marco Holster, while 1990s David Johnson beat 1970s David Johnson 16-3 in the battle of the David Johnsons.
