INTERVIEW | Arnold Mühren returns to Ipswich

Town legend Arnold Mühren speaks to iFollow Ipswich about his memories at Portman Road.

[@Simmer1983]

His most famous assist was the one in the Euro 88 final to Marco van Basten who scored with an amazing volley. Mühren was 37 old then. A very underrated but great Dutch player.

A Ajax an Ipswich Town legend! Was a absolute privilege to watch this team♥ Dank je wel, Arnold! En amazing speeler van Ipswich Town en Nederland!

[@tractor1873]

What a guy! Absolute legend!

[@nickmullerITFC78]

Yes he was

[@nielsjunker1487]

Great video i watch english football in danish tv in 1970 ties , i miss that time

[@hannecatton2179]

A FANTASTIC PLAYER AND WONDERFUL MAN AS WAS HIS DUTCH COMPATRIOT FRANS THYSSEN. WHAT AN ERA THAT WAS . HOPEFULLY OUR CURRENT MANAGER WILL BRING BACK THE GLORY TIMES.

[@Machomannorway]

Fell in love with Ipswich when they beat Arsenal in the FA cup final in 1978, at 12 years old. The next years were simply incredible. Town did not win the league, but they won the hearts of ❤every football fan that loves seeing, efficient, entertaining, fantastic football, the way it should be played. Arnold Muhren was amazing, together with John Wark and Frank Thijssen in midfield.

[@rogerflatt8054]

Legend!

[@brentduffy402]

What a magician on the park he was for the Town Great Player COYB

[@anonymouskid7674]

if only we could put on a big performance

[@cliveeveritt3203]

Absolute privilege to have watched him play for Ipswich , Thijssen as well

[@robbieporter1612]

Same here mate

[@ryanivermee9805]

What a game he watched

[@ajc.1012]

His older brother Gerrie was the great left midfielder of Ajax who won the European cup three times in a row. Watch Gerrie Muhren at Bernabeu against Real Madrid...Arnold Muhren and Frans Thijssen were unlucky that they had so much competitors in Holland such as Wilem van Hanegem, Johan Neeskens, Wim Jansen, Arie Haan, Willie van der Kuijlen, Gerrie Muhren. Nice for him that when he was 37 he became champion of Europe with the Dutch national squad.

[@tnimbus]

A great player.

[@GosWardHen98]

Arnold dispmayed a lot of the futch qualities at the time the dutch were excellent. Always brilliant & effective soccer carried out with simple passes & accurate positioning.

[@garybarnes3446]

What a great player he was and a great man he is.

[@andrewrobinson1116]

Legend! What a left foot - with him in the team a free kick outside the area was as good as a penalty. Goodness knows what he'd be worth if he was playing today!

[@stephaneherringtoniowritin9180]

If only that team could have played in the Champions League...

[@David-bs6fq]

Great player Those were the days 🤪 💙

[@kevinhanson4703]

Met him nearly 5 years ago after Bristol city game absolute Gent

[@cliveeveritt3203]

Love how he refers to Bobby Robson as Mr Robson, great respect .

[@nickmullerITFC78]

Good video

[@johnou.k.3780]

Could do with him now , would have walked the champions league with the format as it is now, uefa cup was the hardest thing to win years ago

[@nickmullerITFC78]

Yes it was hard and we won it

[@StephenMaybury72]

Those WERE the days...

[@reecec2949]

Absolute legend. Wish I was alive to see the likes of him play... I'll keep dreaming 😂🔵⚪

[@paulsimcox4206]

Just loved watching him and Frans cutting defences to pieces with mazey runs and incisive passes. Superb players, both of them.

[@robbieporter1612]

I agree with you also my favourite player Paul mariner

[@tractorgirl2oo]

Fabulous player love the way he kept saying mr robson that’s respect ..... what a shame he saw a crap game lol

[@mrraoulandtheking11]

If Ipswich had few more players Ipswich would have won the league

[@nickmullerITFC78]

Back to back leagues maybe the double

[@mrraoulandtheking11]

NICK MULLER maybe you could onto something there I’ve always said if sir Bobby had have turned down the England job Ipswich would have won the league in 83 as that would have been the next goal. Get out of Europe early no cup runs and a straight finish to become champions of England for the first time in 21 years

[@nickmullerITFC78]

@@mrraoulandtheking11 I think the players would have stayed too but you cant blame Bobby for leaving for the England job it was one of the biggest jobs in the world of football then and he said 10 years in it I think no England manager since him has been good he choose the right players had a mixed bag of players and it worked wherever he went in football

[@jennygw1883]

Muhren would never have put up with idiot Lambert and his idiotic rotation system. What a great guy and amazing times.

[@robbieporter1612]

So true mate

[@ajc.1012]

Although against AZ in the finals Ipwich was lucky. AZ was superior that season but three days before the match against Ipswich they became Dutch champion. They partied for two days, were drunk for two days and incapable of playing footbal against a fit Ipswich. The return was won bij AZ 4-2 but that was not enough. AZ was very unprofessional.

[@efontailback]

First

@Mr Footy you know it
