As Its A Bank Holiday... YOUR ALL TIME TOP 20 Ipswich Players...?

On another thread Stretchy made the point about Roger Osborne not being anywhere near his top 50 all time Ipswich players so I thought as it's a bank holiday, who would be in your top 20 all time Ipswich players that you have SEEN play? I go back to the early 1970s (luckily for me) so I can easily reel off a load of outstanding players that have played in the Town shirt! Some of you young'uns may struggle though!

My All Time Top 20
1. Paul Cooper
2. Mick Mills
3. George Burley
4. Allan Hunter
5. Kevin Beattie
6. Colin Viljoen
7. Johnny Wark (of course)
8. Roger Osborne
9. Trevor Whymark
10. David Jonty Johnson
11. Paul Mariner
12. Eric Gates
13. Arnold Muhren
14. Frans Thjssen
15. Marcus Stewie Stewart
16. Romeo Zondervan
17. Martjn Reuser
18. Keiron Dyer
19. Jason Dozzel
20. Chris Kiwomya


This is a really difficult choice as I have left out the likes of Clive Woods, Alan Brazil, Terry Butcher, Darren Bent, Shefki, Matt Holland and loads more but this is my all time top 20 that I have seen play... now how about yours?

 

I'm going to do this slightly differently and go for the best from 1985. If I was going to put an all-time best XX you'd have to
have Crawford, Phillips, Leadbetter and Baxter in there but it would be wrong to call them my favourites, just as I can more closely
relate to Micky Stockwell than I can Mills.

1) Forrest
2) Stockwell
3) Tarricco
4) Hreiderrsson
5) Wark
6) Dyer
7) Holland
8) Uhlenbeek
9) Dos Santos
10) Stewart
11) Kiwomya
12) Bent
13) N Thompson
14) Counago
15) Hyam
16) Wright
17) Loach
18) Mathie
19) De Vos
20) Smith

Great lists guys!

I've forgotten about some of those great players you've got listed but I guess it also shows that I am considerably older than both of you!

 

And the one player that appears on all three lists so far....




The great John Wark

 

Oh and Hampy, Strictly speaking Dos Santos wasn't technically our player!
