Really decent player whose career was in theory cut short by injury at 28 - although he did have short later spells at Middlesbrough and Colchester.

Not a rich man in later years. Cared for his wife, who suffered from MS at his council owned bungalow.

A good player in a good Ipswich team with some class players led by the late Bobby Robson

They won the FA Cup when they beat Arsenal in 1978 and (for those who remember it) this was the team...

DF 2 George Burley (Scotland)

MF 7 Roger Osborne(England) Substituted off 78'
