Old Pictures of PORTMAN ROAD, & Ipswich.

A place to chat about anything thats not football related. Most of the threads in here are completely pointless which is why people keep coming back and back. As the forum title suggests, feel free to make any post you want on any subject you wish. It also has Adult jokes (so be warned) which is the other reason people keep coming back.

Theobald's Coaches of Long Melford. My families preferred travel to the Ipswich Town matches, actually one of them kept between two of my uncles houses in Little St Mary's, Long Melford, so really was door to door :)

Aston Villa are on the attack at Portman Road in this clash with Ipswich in 1939. Villa won 2-1 in Suffolk but were knocked out in the following round by Preston. This was the last season of FA Cup action before the outbreak of World War Two, with the competition eventually won by Portsmouth

Another thing………, just shows how long Mills was a player. His name is in a lot of those very old programmes in the team sheet, yet there is a pic much later wearing the Fisons shirt. :lol:
Great player …….. and , for me, when i hear him, very knowledgable pundit

Thanks Wolfie, those pics are awesome!

I wonder if the mods can put a sticky on this for the General Chat sections??? Maybe call the thread ITFC History or something?

When I was a kid, I took tennis lessons in Ipswich and Mick Mill's son was in my group. As some of you know, my dear old dad is/was American and he embraced ITFC and English football like no other. Mick showed up one afternoon to pick up his son, and my dad was like a little boy talking to him. Those are great memories!

RIP, Dad!

I would say this is Chelmsford City FA Cup tie, only because I was there too Woolfie and two seasons later played there. I can’t remember the score other than we won. I’ll guess 1-2 or 1-3.

Wimbledon & Crystal Palace, both clubs' reserve teams used Plough Lane as their home ground until 1998

Kicking off with a different kind of football, as Portman Road hosted a game of American football back in May 1984.

Image
Portman Road stadium commonly plays host to games of football, but in 1979, it was used as a movie set.
Image
In January 1987, winter was in full swing as a layer of snow covered the ground completely.
Image
Dedicated football fans camped outside the stadium to ensure they got tickets to the big games in April 1978.
Image
The winning side lined up at Portman Road ready to pose for a photo with the shield.
Image
Portman Road stadium also felt the effects of nature as it was subjected to flood in July 1976, which left most the road underwater.

1950s from left to right;- Basil Acres, Joe Ball, Jack Parry, Tommy Brown, and Trainer Jimmy Forsyth


that Jack Parry in those 1950s pics, he was captain of my local dart team, we started up a B team , we noticed before he played he would run his throwing hand across the top of the pelmet above the windows for dust to grip his darts.
We were playing them on a Friday in the league, so on the Thursday we spread woodworking glue on the top of the pelmet,
come the match and his turn he ran his hand along the pelmet and his face when he see his hand was a picture :lol: , anyway he never did forgive us for that, LOL.

Looking back, this feller played for Ipswich and Wales, and after was laying bricks for a living, how things have changed aye.

He had a mate called Monty, (nickname) who played for Ipswich. never did know who he was, Anyone have a clue,
Image
Brynley John Parry (11 January 1924 – 20 January 2010)[2] was a Welsh professional footballer. During his career he made almost 100 appearances for Swansea Town and 138 appearances for Ipswich Town between 1951 and 1955. Born in Wales in 1924, Jack married Edith and had 3 children. In his later years he moved to London and then Chelmsford as a bricklayer. Most notably, Parry 'topped off' the Natwest building in London. Parry had 6 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren all living around the Chelmsford area of Essex before his death in 2010.

RIP Jack
