Match Ipswich (A) - 22nd February - 3PM KICK OFF, AN ACTUAL 3PM KICK OFF

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Been to ipswich before. Theres a statue of the late Sir Bobby Robson outside ground and worth a look. One of Englands greatest Managers and nicest blokes in football.
There’s three very good statues around Portman Road that are worth a look if you can - all by the same artist. We’re not talking Ronaldo levels of quality 🤪.

The Robson one is good, but probably the worst of the three, carry on a bit further down Portman Road and you’ll come across the Sir Alf Ramsey and Kevin Beattie bronze works. They’re excellent. With the Beattie one in flight for a header, shin pads and Adidas logos stand out… it’s I think the best I’ve seen in the UK. He was an amazing Town and England player who had it all, who unfortunately had his career cut short.
 
Looks like you’re all feeling quite bullish about your visit to Suffolk - with injuries returning, a centre back, and two wins on the bounce.

It’s a huge game for Town, such fine margins for us this season should be say 6 points better off - for example Saturdays ref failed to give us a stonewall penalty against Leicester, he’ll get abuse. But the table doesn’t lie.

I think it will be close affair, but with goals. The suspension of Tuanzebe, who was brilliant at your place, and the injury to Encisco could prove crucial.

Delap is the real deal, and Phillips is finding form. We seem to have sorted our keeper issues.

Enjoy the game, but not the result!! We need to keep in touch with Wolves. We fancy Man U away Weds more than you tomorrow!

Huge player for you - 226 starts at right back, 24 goals. Won you promotion from second division, straight to champions of England. Scored a wunder goal with a 40yd run beating multiple players. Learnt the push and run style at Spurs that was a first for England and probably became Spurs identity. Took that style/system into managing Ipswich who won the title form nowhere and blew teams away.

What a guy.

(I’ve nicked this all off Wikipedia as I didn’t even know he played for you!!)

I've been to Ipswich when I was a 20 hated it - I remember a lot of Ipswich players in the movie with Pele with Sly Stallone ;)

This guy pretty much helped transition the game into something new 'Push-n-Run' techniques are now a staple. the good ol 1-2...

LEGEND

He's more widely known for a shit pass to the back 50years ago & players still haven't learnt from this mistake...
