Thread: George Best in Ipswich strip!! 1979 BR testimonial.

  1. #1

    George Best in Ipswich strip!! 1979 BR testimonial.

    Photos a bit muddy as I either didn't have or wasn't allowed to use a flashgun...

    Also I think some of the old players are wearing borrowed track suits, so the initials are wrong?

    You're welcome! Yup - 50s, 60s, 70s and into the 80s were The Town's Golden Years - any of that 1978 squad would be most welcome.

    What a team there were!
