Ska Junkie Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Who's the City player in this pic? Season 78/79. We have a bit of a debate going on and I need an answer. It might be handy to have a thread of old pic questions anyway. I reckon it's Jimmy Mann and a fellow red reckons it's Joe Royle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I like the way Muhren signed himself simply as 'Arnold' and that his 2nd middle name was Hyacinthus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just looked it up. It was the last time we won at Ipswich in 1978/ 9 with a last minute Tom Ritchie goal, and the player is Joe Royle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 For those a little older than me, how good a player was Kevin Beattie? I hear a lot that he was a top player What happened with him, injuries I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a team Ipswich had back then. I remember Muhren and Thijssen (spelling?) really well, but I missed out on Beattie.

I'm no Ipswich fan but would stand a chance of naming it as they were that good. Cooper Burley Osman Beattie Mills Wark Thiissen Muhren Gates Mariner Brazil I bet that isn't far away.

Butcher instead of Osman, Whymark instead of Mariner, and probably Talbot instead of Gates, but the team evolved so you're not far out Ska. Great team assembled by a superb manager.

cidered abroad Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 David Woods book " City 1894-1987" shows Joe Royle as number 9 in three away games at Ipswich from 1977 to 1980. In 76-77 Peter Cormack wore 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work Noggers et all. I really enjoy old stuff like this, it would be nice if we could keep it going with other old pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone from the same era talks really highly of him There’s a story that while they were filming Escape To Victory Beattie had an arm wrestle with Sylvester Stallone and beat him, and that for the rest of the time they were together filming Stallone refused to talk to him after! Shame it never put him off making Over The Top! Anyone who’s seen that film will know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also picked as Man Of The Match for the 1978 FA Cup Final, despite being an unused squad player. I believe Margaret Thatcher was picking the MoM and took his name at random from a list.

ScottishRed Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 It was a hell of a team - George Burley and John Wark two fabulous players. George had a decent start in management too but it all went wrong - too many 'refreshments ' allegedly. Dont know what happened to Wark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Wark went to Liverpool, and although the didn’t play as well as at Ipswich, he still scored a fair few goals from midfield. Eric Gates - the moaniest player I’ve ever seen at AG....for Sunderland. Mariner - at one point him and Cheesely vying for England u23 honours....fine lines and injuries. Paul Cooper - penalty save King. Was it true that Roger Osborne never kicked a ball again for Ipswich after his cup final winner? Brazil was a very good player. Easy to think of him as an overweight radio presenter, but he was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to think of him as an overweight radio presenter, but he was very good. Seems to be close, but no cigar. Certainly his last kick in the final but not his last game for Ipswich: In 1978, he was part of the Ipswich team that won the FA Cup against Arsenal, scoring the winning goal in the 77th minute, in a 1-0 victory. His celebration upon scoring the winning goal caused him to faint and be substituted with only ten minutes of the match remaining.[2] In 1979, he was loaned to NASL side Detroit Express, for whom he played 22 matches. Osborne played his final game for Ipswich on 15 November 1980 in a league match against Leicester City.[3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
