AZ-67 - Ipswich Town. UEFA Cup-1980/81. Final (2)

[@philanderton22]

it is a shame that such a club as Ipswich is not in the top division of England. Fantastic club and what wonderful supporters. I would love to come to this club and watch them play, I don't care what class of England they play in. I have always been a fan of this club. Greetings from Holland.

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

English league has more big clubs than Premier league spaces and ironically shit clubs like Bournemouth and Fulham still manage to end up there

[@WilliamDesich]

well… i have good news for you!

[@ZeldaFitz]

As an arsenal fan I loved this Ipswich team. Paul Cooper’s swinging arms when facing penalties was copied by kids in goal all over the uk. Great team.

[@ZeldaFitz]

This is how I remember Euro football nights as a kid, bloke smoking a cigar on the bench,klaxons,commentary sounds like it’s through a drain pipe,fans aloud to bring their own flags into the stadium... fantastic times. Ipswich were going for 3 trophies this season; Fa cup,league title and the UEFA cup. It’s also funny how people referred to this tournament as the Yootha cup back then.

[@michealkelliher8428]

Absolutely Zelda. 👏 More substance in football back then. Today it's all flash and no substance, that's the difference. More atmosphere.

[@stephennicolay1940]

I went to all the UEFA Cup games this season and I was there in the Ipswich Town crowd. To see Mick Mills lift the cup!

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

Ipswich under Robson that season were arguably the most talented side ever produced in English football and had it not been that the squad was only 14 players and had to play 65 matches in four competitions including replays they would have won everything that season. They came close to doing it but injuries took their toll. They were playing three games a week at one point in three competitions.

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

I also blame UEFA for aggrandizing the Champions League at historic cups' expense, such as the Cup Winner's Cup and the UEFA Cup.

[@townfanjohn]

The memories! As a Huddersfield fan I always had a soft spot for ITFC because of this team. To see another 'Town' lifting a European trophy gives us all hope

[@marksims3904]

It does indeed! And you being a Huddersfield fan you are only one of three teams to win the top division three years in a row. Only Liverpool and Man U have done it since. 1924, 1925, 1926. Still counts for the Terriers!

[@yourdearmirror]

Maybe the hope is gone with the oil money from Middle East who can buy whatever player they want. My hope is that we one day will regulate the big money. Maybe all the clubs should be own by their fans union.

[@marksims3904]

@@yourdearmirror We can but hope! Fan power.

[@andrewdoole1600]

40 years ago today. What a team we had then.

[@marksims68]

Wonderful, WONDERFUL!! Ipswich Town champions of europe. Not bad for a small club from suffolk. We took on the best, we BEAT the best, and silverware is the reward. Three stars on our shirt. Pride of Anglia.

[@MrRazorblade999]

Not champions of Europe. It's the Uefa Cup.

[@marksims68]

@@MrRazorblade999 Still won a european trophy. That makes us champions of europe.

[@MrRazorblade999]

@@marksims68 No. The winners of the European Cup were the champions of Europe. These days it's called Champions League.

[@cliffedwards2152]

Great side and a joy to watch, voted the best team in Europe that season for very good reason.

[@marksims68]

@@MrRazorblade999 I know Liverpool won the European Cup in 1981 (even though they had a crap league season) and that makes them champions of europe and rightly so. What would you call a team winning a european trophy? Even if it was the UEFA Cup.

[@YaskoMHB]

Ipswich has competed in all three major European club competitions and has never lost at home in European competition, having defeated teams such as Real Madrid, A.C. Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio and Barcelona at home.

[@jackmallory7996]

Didn't actually play in a lot of those games.

[@chriswright5016]

I was there. Quite a wonderful night and, to date, the biggest moment in our club's history.

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

Winning the football league in 1962 was the biggest moment !

Very lucky mate

I so love this club called IPSWICH TOWN FC

[@shawry9124]

Called who?

[@carlosabianfernandez2058]

It's very sad that Ipswich Town doesn't play at the Premier League nowadays because it was a very good team during the late 1970s and early 1980s.Greetings from Spain.

[@elshadjafar2437]

LIKE FROM ME. BAKU. MANY THANKS FOR SHARING

[@giuseppeachilli8180]

We don't care

[@keithisaacs6092]

Are you watching Narwich city this is what it's like to win a major trophy. Supporting Ipswich town as a youngster was amazing.

[@johanprx7985]

The Dutch always play well but we often fail in the semi finals or finals. But such is Football

[@christophersharpe5222]

Ipswichs great era came to an end in this match,but like forest the year before managed to get to the finish line and win a major european trophy before both teams went into decline.

[@itfc1978]

I was there Magical COYB

[@hackett152332]

Wish I was there but wasn’t born then :/ hopefully someday

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

They still had another match after this in Hungary I guess, but with addition of Pele, Bobby Moore, Ardiles, Derya, Stallone, and Caine

[@Lester-m8g]

ha ha escape to victory.. John Wark with a speaking part: "I'll take the top bunk"... Richard Burton eat your heart out..

[@hrivett54]

I was there

[@forgive7449]

are you still watching them in the third division of english football ? 😁 didn't think so !

[@Ruda-n4h]

AZ were different class here, Ipswich couldn't cope with Johnny Metgod's role as an attacking sweeper. Ipswich were very entertaining at this time but the two clodhoppers at the back Osman and Butcher let them down. If they'd had two better defenders they might have won the league that season instead of Liverpool.

[@nikoskarkavelias1612]

They lost the title to villa, not Liverpool. I just loves Ipswich tiwn, one of the most talented club in the history of English football.

[@philipstudd6189]

remind us...which European trophy did you win? oh yes...

[@jamesmaxwell3933]

You won f all. Anglia's glory days are sadly gone and the vermin contributed nothing. League, FA Cup and UEFA cup (when only the domestic champions weren't involved). Noj? Shirts the colour of sick the clue. Too many fingers the confirmation.
