Ipswich Town Football Club: The 1980s

The 1980s began with Ipswich winning the UEFA Cup in an unforgettable season which also saw them come agonisingly close to capturing the League Championship and the FA Cup. After that, though, it all went wrong horribly quickly. Bobby Robson left for the England job, star players drifted away, and within five years of the UEFA Cup triumph, the unthinkable happened - Town were relegated. The remainder of the 1980s saw Ipswich in the doldrums, struggling to make any real impact in Division Two, with dwindling and increasingly disgruntled crowds. Relive every high and low, triumph and disaster, through hundreds of evocative photographs. They tell the tale of a decade which had just about everything.
