From the publisher:
Updated for 2024, and (hopefully) to coincide with the club’s return to the Premier League, Ipswich Town Miscellany is a collection of information you never knew you needed to know about the club – it’s also the perfect companion for Ipswich Town On This Day. Full of intriguing anecdotes and incredible stats and facts, like the tale of the striker whose shot cleared the stand and hit a horse ploughing a field, and the local Cub Scout pack who made tea in the Portman Road centre circle. Find out which World Cup finals was graced by no fewer than six Ipswich Town players; or which legendary Town boss is statistically the club's most successful, and which great manager only comes third on the all-time list.
And at which match the club produced its first programme, a game that was watched by only 2,000 fans. All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia – essential for any fan who holds the riches of blue-and-white history close to their heart.
