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.

John Peddelton
Peddelty was with the Blues between 1971 and 1976, making 50 appearances and scoring six goals before moving on to Plymouth as part of the deal which saw Paul Mariner move in the opposite direction.

Another local Darts player i remember was Steve Brennan from Knodishall, Suffolk, great player,
Image

there was one old boy from i believe from Diss or Stradbroke who used to play with 4" or 6" nails and always kept his jacket on while throwing,
played Suffolk super or County league darts apparently.?
perhaps some local will remember him, Only ever see him play the once but was amazing stuff

found this on YouTube LOL

I sold this shirt only about 7 months ago on ebay for “£185.00 buy it now, or offers” ….. guy from Hastings offered £160. Took it.
Pristine condition. Wore it once. During that “one wear”, buddies were like, “That is WAAAAAAY too Rangers, Marko.”
Never wore it again. Top notch condition, red lace n all! 👍👍

Was never onboard with that one, Wolfie. Too much like Newcastle.
I know SBR had Newcastle attachments …… but i’d for sure be a Sunderland fan if from the NE of England.
