Ipswich Town

Founded in 1878, Ipswich Town Football Club has a rich history and is one of the most storied clubs in English football. The club, also known as 'The Tractor Boys', play their home games at Portman Road in Ipswich, Suffolk.

One of the most distinguished periods in the club's history came during the 1960s and 1970s under the management of Alf Ramsey and later Bobby Robson. Alf Ramsey, who would later lead England to World Cup victory in 1966, led Ipswich Town to their only Football League First Division title in the 1961-62 season. 

Bobby Robson, another legendary figure, managed the club from 1969 to 1982. Under his leadership, Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978 and the UEFA Cup in 1981, marking a golden era for the club. The team under Robson was known for its attractive and attacking play, with stars such as Paul Mariner, John Wark and Terry Butcher.

Following Robson's departure to become England captain, Ipswich experienced mixed success. They had periods of success in the Premier League, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including an impressive fifth-place finish in the 2000–01 season which earned them a place in the UEFA Cup.

Despite recent years of promotion and relegation, Ipswich Town have retained a strong supporter base and are known for their proud history and tradition. The club continues to be an important part of the football community in Suffolk and 2024 is the year they once again step into the fine room of the Premier League.
