I think l was there but memory is a funny thing. Watching now l am always struck by how calm Mick Mills always was. He was not quick and not tall but he didn’t make many mistakes and always seemed to have time and space. At the end of his career when he played in midfield he made a real fist of it. Aah happy days
“Sharkey’s got a bit of bite”. Even when they didn’t mean it, commentators were funnier as well as more listenable then than today’s banshee screeching nutters.
Pitch looking superb - remember we were coming to the end of our worst ever drought and lawns everywhere turned yellow, then brown almost into dust. Probably the only green patch in the whole of Suffolk, let alone Ipswich. We endured pretty much 95 consecutive days at 95' degrees fahrenheit. The entire UK became Majorca. Reservoirs everywhere dried up and became baked mud. Personally I found it unbearable. Thankfully, ten days after this match, the heavens opened and we went back to our usual cooler weather.
Great win. But these were the days of hooliganism. I was in the Churchmans, when this Spurs fan (most of whom were in the North Stand), obviously pretty drunk, was going round these (obviously non-hooligans) asking everyone (including me) 'do you wanna come?' We all said no, here for the footie, not wanting a fight. Suddenly, two massive Town fans appeared, as well as another Spurs fan, somehow. The crowds parted, and suddenly there were two Ipswich and two Spurs fans scrapping. The old bill came along and sorted them out, and we were left to enjoy the game. And what a game!

Pat Jennings a nigh on impossible act to follow, but in fairness Barry Daines was an excellent 'keeper who did a lot for Spurs.
Jennings was still at the club at this point
Barry Daines once said "I'm the best 'keeper in the country. It's in the towns and the cities I have trouble with"🤣
Spurs relegated that season
Looked very poor on this showing, little threat in attack.

Segregation not up to scratch by the look of this game.
Miss game overslept. Well passed off. Morden seemed to far to get dam tube sat
Talbot and Young later played for Arsenal
L'équipe d'Ipswish a beaucoup changé en 4 ans
