Just done the google. Ipswich were relegated that season. They also got thumped 9 by Stoke and 7 by the rags.

As I mentioned earlier, I hadn't googled it. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that Ipswich were a decent side in the early sixties. In my defence though, I was just over a year old when those matches took place.


It's a pisser getting old!

It said they had won the league 2 seasons earlier. so that would have been 60/61.
So maybe they degraded as the decade passed ;-)

They won it with an ageing team of pro's. Last chance saloon for a lot of them. From memory they had an outside left called Jimmy Leadbetter who looked about fifty but used to sling crosses in for fun, usually finished by Ray Crawford, a centre forward in the Derek Kevan mould.
