    I remember well that April afternoon in 1962, when most on here were in their nappies! When we beat the Villa 2-0 to take the 1st Divition title, at the first time of asking. Mayhem at PR.

    Ray Crawford & Ted Phillips scoring 72 goals between them that season.....72!!

    Sir Alf such a modest decent bloke. We wont see the likes of him in football.

    Pride of Suffolk. We salute you Sir Alf!

    A truly remarkable achievement, second division title, division one winners in the first season and World Cup winner.
    A proper gentleman and an Ipswich legend forever.

    Arrr Jungle Boy what a player,was only 9 but it was seeing my first game when Crawford scored that started my process of falling in love with the town. Guess we wouldn't be allowed to sing that these days lol

    I was still a twinkle in my parents’ eyes but great respect for the achievement.

    One thing about prolonged radiotherapy is that when it's finished you can sleep for England.

    I'm sleeping about 15 hours a day atm so forgive me if I'm late responding <cheers>

    Scoggy and everyone, here's the Film link:



    CCDocJC

    Just click & enter the password CCDocJC

    We havent gone public yet, but sports forms are an obvious audience. Please do share with other men, and their partners, who you may know have Prostate cancer, just diagnosed, or worried, or are on their treatment journey like Dave.

    Any watchers, do let me know your thoughts.

    1 in 8 men get it, so, in an average Portman crowd, 2,000 will have it!
