What a side Ipswich were then. So much talent and ability. They just dominated games. Had they had a bigger squad and not played in four competitions and nearly 70 games in 80/81 they would have swept the board rather than only winning European silverware.
Town had the perfect midfield. Warky central, goal scoring/tackling machine, Muhren the most precise footballer l ever saw and Thyssen a great dribbler. People forget it was Muhren and Thyssen who proved better technical players from abroad could thrive in the English game. United noticed cos they bought Muhren
United fan through and through but Ipswich had a great team back then! RIP the great Bobby Robson who was a class acr!!!
Five of the Doc's 1977 FA Cup winning side in United's starting XI.
Didn't realise Buchan was still kicking about then.
