You raise a very interesting point there, Northants...I've got two teenage sons, neither born in Ipswich, one 'supports' Arsenal, the other Man U, I've never tried to brainwash either of them into supporting Ipswich, it simply couldn't mean as much to them as it does to me, having grown up in Ipswich, gone to school there, etc etc...I actually have a lot of respect for those Budgies born in Norwich/Norfolk who follow their local team through thick and thin, (same as I do my team), but how does it work following a team that you only have such a tenuous connection with?

I disagree Welly I've been going to game for 23 years and have seen us through some terrible times never once thought of dropping my team. There is no right or wrong way you can make your kids become town loyalists or allow them to support who they want, lots of people support the teams their parents do, I'm just very fortunate that my Dad decided to invest his time and money taking me to games.

Warky - Never knew that, there has been some quality Steelback players over the years. Lamb was a great cricketeer but I know a few people who have crossed paths with him and I must say his not the most popular of people.

After the Ashes test at Edgbaston in 1985 Lamby signed my cricket bat and it is my most prized posession to this day. Yes he has a certain arrogance but that comes with the territory when you are a truly great sportsman. I will never forget some of the sublime knocks he played especially the 3 magnificent tonnes he got against the mighty West Indies pace attack of the early 80s! He made Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner and Andy Roberts look very ordinary a number of times.

I took a photo of him being bowled by Roger Harper for a ton at Headingley - it won a prize
