Ipswich

.

The club was established as an amateur club in 1878. They were referred to by the name of Ipswich A.F.C. until 1888, when they merged together with Ipswich Rugby Club to form Ipswich Town Football Club. The team took part in a number of regional cup competitions which included those of the Suffolk Challenge Cup and the Suffolk Senior Cup. After participating for the Norfolk & Suffolk League from 1899, and then the South East Anglian League between 1903 and 1906 They became part of in the Southern Amateur League in 1907 and, as their results improved consistently, were champions during the season of 1921-22. The club was champions 3 times more between 1929-30 and 1932-33, and 1933-34. Then, they became founding players of the Eastern Counties Football League at the close of 1934/35. In the following year the club became into a professional team and was incorporated in the Southern League, which they won their first season , but finished in third in the following.

Ipswich were admitted as a member of The Football League on 30 May 1938. They were within division Three (South) through the close of the season 1953-54 which saw them win the title and promoted into Division Two.

The club was immediately delegated again to Division Three (South) the following year following the close of a disappointing year, however, they made progress since Scott Duncan was replaced as manager of the team by Alf Ramsey in August of 1955. The club was awarded Division Three (South) Division Three (South) title in 1956-57 and was then promoted to the upper division in the following year. In this time, Ipswich established themselves in Division Two and, as division champions, were promoted to the highest league in English soccer, Division One, in 1960-61.

The top league was a reality in the premier league for the very first time Ipswich won the title of Champions of the Football League at the first attempt in 1961-62. Being English League champions they were able to qualify for their 1962-63 European Cup, defeating Maltese team Floriana 14-1 in aggregate, but being defeated by AC Milan. Ramsey quit the club in April of 1963 to become the manager of his new role as the head of England National team. Under his direction the England team took home in 1966 the World Cup. He was awarded a knighthood for "services to the game" in the year 1967.

Ramsey became replaced Jackie Milburn, under whose direction the fortunes of the team dropped. After winning the league championship, Ipswich slipped down to the Second Division in 1964, scoring 121 league goals over 42 games. This was one of the most defensive record for English professional football. Milburn quit the club after just one full season , but became replaced with Bill McGarry in 1964. The club was within the Second Division for four years until McGarry led Ipswich to promotion with the Assistant Sammy Chung in the 1967-68 season, where they won the division just one point over Queens Park Rangers. McGarry quit to oversee Wolves before being replaced by Bobby Robson in January 1969.

Robson played a key role in leading Ipswich towards two major awards and many seasons of the top division of European football. The period of success started in 1973 when Ipswich was awarded the Texaco Cup and finished fourth in the league, which allowed them to qualify to play in the UEFA Cup for the first time. In 1974-75, they reached the semi-finals in the FA Cup for the first time, only to lose the semi-finals to West Ham United after a replay, and ended up finishing with a third place in the league. In the late 1970s Robson was able to build a solid team with talent in all areas, and introduced the Dutch duo of Arnold Muhren and Frans Thijssen to spice up the squad that included British internationals like John Wark, Terry Butcher and Paul Mariner, although the Ipswich squad was perhaps not quite as strong as the depth of the established major clubs such as Liverpool as well as Manchester United. Ipswich frequently ranked within the top five spots of the league, as well as the UEFA Cup. The peak of their success was in the 1979-80 season, they defeated Manchester United 6-0 in a league match at Portman Road, a game in which United goalkeeper Gary Bailey also saved three penalties. The loss resulted in United two points. This was the difference that eventually divided them from the champions Liverpool. The biggest win came in 1978, when Ipswich defeated Arsenal on the pitch at Wembley Stadium to win their only FA Cup trophy. This was followed by the close pursuit of the triple in the 1980-81 season. Ipswich were the top team in the division for the majority of the season and was on track to take home another league title, as well as FA Cup and European honours. But injuries and the stifling of fixtures (a team of 13 players played more than 60 games) caused a lot of stress and Ipswich eventually finished runners-up in the league to Aston Villa (a side they beat away and home in league play and in the FA Cup) and were semi-finalists of the FA Cup. Ipswich did take home in the UEFA Cup, however, in 1981, they won the 5-4 win against AZ Alkmaar, in the two-legged finale. The final saw a 4-1 victory in St Etienne, captained by Michel Platini. Also, the club finished runners-up in league competition in 1981 and 1982.

Robson's successes in his time at Ipswich caught the eye of several larger clubs. He was considered for his Manchester United job when Dave Sexton was dismissed in May 1981, however the job was given over to Ron Atkinson instead. Robson was lured away by the Football Association lured Robson away from Portman Road a year later and he was offered an offer to lead the England national team in July of 1982.

The successor of Robson as manager at Ipswich was assistant manager Bobby Ferguson. under Ferguson, Town finished mid-table two times, but their poor performance led to them beginning to fall behind in the highest division. The construction of a costly new stadium located at Portman Road limited the club's budget, despite the funds generated from the sale of key players such as Thijssen as well as Wark.

Ipswich were eventually relegated to the Second Division at the end of the 1985-86 season. Butcher was the only important player from the winning 1981 squad, was traded to Rangers during the summer. Ferguson had been in charge throughout the relegation process and resigned in May 1987 after achieving the promotion play-offs but failed to restore the club back to it's First Division. Ipswich Town were later run by John Duncan for three years until the time he was replaced by the former West Ham United boss John Lyall in May of 1990, with Ipswich remaining located in the Second Division. Lyall steered Ipswich into winning the Second Division title and promotion to the newly formed FA Premier League, ready for the 1992-93 season. Only two league defeats in the run-up to the start of the New Year, Ipswich started the season in a positive way and was fifth on the Premier League in January 1993 However, a drop in form in the closing months of the season resulted in them finishing 16th. The poor form continued throughout the next season and Ipswich did not escape relegation until that year, when Sheffield United suffered a 3-2 defeat against Chelsea on the last game of the campaign. After six months, the fortunes on the field had not changed, and Lyall was dismissed in December 1994, leaving the club in the bottom half at the bottom of the Premiership.

The successor of Lyall, George Burley, was not able to turn the team's performance around. Ipswich suffered an Premiership record loss of 9-0 at Manchester United, on their path to relegation. In the second division of the league Burley was the team's leader, guiding them to 3 consecutive promotions playoffs however, they would suffer losses in each of the semi-finals. Ipswich made it back into the Premiership in the year 2000, after coming back to defeat Barnsley by 4-2 during the final Division One playoff final at Wembley Stadium. Ipswich had a good run in the Premiership during their debut season. Burley's team finished with a respectable fifth position, only to be defeated in the face by Liverpool on the final game of the year in order to earn the Champions League. The consolation prize was the UEFA Cup place and FA Premier League Manager of the Year Award for Burley.

But, the team scored just one win from their first seventeen league matches in the season following, leaving the team in the bottom position in December. Despite a great performance between January and February, Burley could not save the club from being relegated back to Championship at the close this season. The loss of revenue from relegation also resulted in the club being forced to financial management. The club had the slight benefit of once again being able to qualify to play in the UEFA Cup, this time by way of using the UEFA Fair Play ranking, and Ipswich had two wins and lost the final round to Czech club Slovan Liberec. The slow start to the season that culminated in a defeat of 0-3 in the relegation battle against Grimsby Town, meant that Burley was dismissed in October 2002, having served nearly eight years as the manager.

First coach of the team Tony Mowbray was given four games as a caretaker manager, and won one and losing once, but he was eventually removed as manager by previous Oldham Athletic, Everton and Manchester City manager Joe Royle who was a player for the local and rival Norwich City. Royle took over a team struggling to get into being in the Division One relegation zone, however, he redeemed the fortunes of the club so that the team was unable to qualify for the playoffs. In 2003-04, the team was able to rise out of the administration and continue to fight for a return into the Premier League. They finished the season the top five, but lost in the playoff semi-finals against West Ham United.

In the midst of narrowly not advancing automatically in the 2004-05 season, Royle again took Ipswich to the play-offs however, they were beaten again against West Ham United in the semi-finals. The 2005/06 season saw Ipswich finish 15th in the table, which was the lowest place the club has been in since. Joe Royle resigned by mutual agreement on May 11th, 2006 and, a month after, Jim Magilton was officially named manager. The club in November 2007 was engaged in takeover talks with entrepreneurs Marcus Evans and former Birmingham City director David Sullivan. In December 2007 Evans took over of Birmingham City by purchasing an 87.5 percent part of the team. He invested approximately PS44 million, which also included purchasing the club's PS32 million loan. The club signed with Marcus Evans Group on the 20th of May 2008. Marcus Evans Group on 20 May 2008 that will last until 2018. It was the longest period in the history of the club.

In the end, after failing to make it to the playoffs despite massive investments, Magilton was sacked in April 2009, and the new CEO Simon Clegg replaced him with the former Manchester United player, Roy Keane. Keane's time as manager ended after a shaky 18-month tenure, after which his resignation was announced in January of 2011, only to be replaced with Ian McParland in a caretaker position prior to when Paul Jewell took the reins on an ongoing basis. An unsatisfactory start to the 2012/13 season that saw Ipswich in the bottom half of the Championship having won just one of their first 12 games. This led to Jewell being dismissed on the 24th of October, 2012 with mutual consent.

He was temporarily replaced in a temporary capacity by Chris Hutchings for a single match as a caretaker until the former Wolves manager Mick McCarthy was appointed full-time on the 1st of November, 2012. McCarthy managed Ipswich to avoid relegation moving them from the to the bottom of the league during November to reach 14th place. The following season saw an 8th place finish, and, in 2014-15, an impressive 6th position and play-off win - but Ipswich fell in the semi-finals against their local opponents Norwich City 4-2 on aggregate. Ipswich ended their 2016-17 campaign in 16th position the lowest they have been since 1958-59. McCarthy made it clear that McCarthy was going home at the conclusion in the season 2017-18 on March 23rd 2018, but he ultimately removed himself from the position with just four games remaining. He was replaced at the close in the campaign with Bryan Klug as a caretaker manager. Ipswich finished the season 12th position.

On the 30th of May, 2018, Paul Hurst was announced as the new manager of the club. He was appointed on the basis of a three-year deal. After a disastrous beginning to the season, and the team finishing at the bottom of the league, Hurst was sacked in October of 2018 after just five months as manager and was the manager with the lowest tenure in the history of the club. His replacement was the former Norwich City manager Paul Lambert however, he was not able to stop the club from being relegated in League One at the end of the 2018-19 season. the end of Ipswich's 63-year tenure within the two top leagues in English football.

Lambert continued as manager after his relegation and was appointed manager of Ipswich's debut season in the third tier of football since 1957. Ipswich ended the season with a 11th position which was the lowest position for the club since 1953. The standings were determined by points-per-game because of the suspension of the season in March 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 virus. After not being able to mount an effort to be promoted throughout the next campaign, Lambert left the club through mutual agreement on 28 February 2021. Former Wigan manager Paul Cook was appointed as his replacement within three days.

7 April 2021 was the day that Phoenix Rising FC announced on April 7, 2021 that US investment company Gamechanger 20 Limited had purchased an entire part of the team. The consortium consisted of Ohio-based investment company ORG and The "Three Lions Fund" (made consisting of three Phoenix Rising FC board members) and the former manager Marcus Evans, who remained as the minority shareholder. Ipswich finished the season 2020-21 in ninth place, three places outside of the play-offs. The expectations were high for the season to come However, after a string of disappointing performances, Cook was sacked in December 2021. On the 16th of December, 2021 Kieran McKenna who was assistant manager of Manchester United, was appointed to succeed Cook and was accompanied by Martyn Pert as his assistant. Ipswich finished the season 11th in the table.

These shirts worn by the players from Ipswich Town did not sport an crest until the mid-1960s and the club adopted an image inspired by the Ipswich coat of arms with a gold lion rampant guardant against backdrop of red on the left side with three golden ramparts against blue backgrounds on the right side. In 1972 the crest was revamped following an art contest, which was that was won by Treasurer from the Supporters Club, John Gammage. Every element of the new design was designed to symbolize the area.

"I thought of Suffolk Punch Suffolk Punch as a noble animal that was well-suited to dominate our logo and to represent the club. To complete the badge, I considered Ipswich, the city of Ipswich with its many historical structures, including the Wolsey Gate. It is also near the sea and has an extensive Dock area."

The crest was used again on the goalkeeper and home kit in the season 2020/21, to commemorate the 40th anniversary celebration of the Ipswich's UEFA Cup triumph. The crest was changed in 1995, following a an agreement with a Supporters Forum, with the turrets of the Wolsey Gate being moved towards the top of the crest, the background was changed to red as well as it was replaced with the Suffolk Punch given a more prominent physique as well as the F.C. was expanded to become a Football Club. The Football Club logo was added with three stars to the sleeves of the away shirt during the 2004-05 season as well as to the home kit for the 2005-06 season. The stars represent the three main trophy that Ipswich Town have won; the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup and the former Division One. The stars were placed to the right of the crest, when the shirt was redesign prior to the 2007-08 campaign and then relocated again in 2022-23 at the rear of the shirt.

The traditional colours of Ipswich Town consist of blue shirts, blue socks and white shorts. One of the nicknames for Ipswich Town has been The Blues, stemming from their old kit. The first colours that the club registered were white and blue striped tops and black shorts. White shorts and all-blue shirts were first worn during the 1936-37 season. This was following the club's acceptance in the Southern Football League after turning professional. They have been the primary colors of the home kit of the club since.

Since their professional debut, Ipswich have used a variety of away colors such as white and orange, red as well as black and white vertical stripes. as well as claret and black, green, and cream vertical stripes, and the dark blue, claret and black. Since 2006, Ipswich have gave away 500 shirts in blue and orange at no cost to kids in Iraq.

In the year 1981, Ipswich Town announced a partnership with the Japanese electronics firm Pioneer Corporation, who became the first official sponsor for the football club. Pioneer Corporation also sponsored the West Stand at the stadium's Portman Road stadium up until 1999, which was previously called The West Stand. Pioneer continued as the sponsor of club's uniforms until 1985 the year that the new deal for sponsorship was signed with Local Suffolk Radio station Radio Orwell. Radio Orwell would sponsor the club's kit for a season, before being replaced by the chemical producers for horticulture and pharmaceuticals, Fisons. Fisons were the primary sponsor of the club during the 1986-87 season up until the season 1994-1995 and also during the 1991-92 time frame in which the club won its first Second Division championship and gained promotion to the first season of the newly formed Premier League. Since then, Ipswich have had a variety of kits sponsors. These included the the Suffolk-based brewery Greene King from 1995 to 2001, as well as the energy firms TXU Energi (2001-2003), Powergen (2003-2006) and E.ON (2006-2008). Following the takeover of the club from Marcus Evans in 2007, Marcus Evans Group became the primary sponsor for the club. Marcus Evans Group will remain the main sponsor of the football club from 2008 until the year 2018. In January of 2018 the club signed an extension of their sponsorship agreement worth nearly PS2 million , with British online casino operator Magical Vegas. It was announced in the month of May that Magical Vegas revealed that they would donate the last year of their rights as a shirt sponsor for the 2020-21 season to The Carers Trust charity for the 2020-21 season. On May 6, 2021 Magical Vegas announced that pop artist and long-time Ipswich fans Ed Sheeran would be the shirt sponsor for the club's new season for the 2021-22 season an agreement that could be extended later to include the 2022-23 season too. On June 14, 2022 Ipswich declared that they had entered into a 4 year agreement with Umbro to be the new kit makers for both the Men's as well as the women's teams. It was it as the very first time since the year 1995 the club's kits were manufactured by Umbro.

Between 1878 until the year 1884 Ipswich Town played at two town grounds, Broomhill and Brook's Hall However, in 1884 the team relocated from Brook's Hall to Portman Road and have played there ever since. The new stadium, Ipswich became one of the first clubs to adopt goal nets in 1890. However, the more significant aspects of the development of the ground didn't commence until the year 1901 when the first factory for the processing of tobacco was constructed on the south side of the field.

It was the first pitch, a wood structure, was constructed in the Portman Road side of the pitch in 1905. The roof collapsed in 1911. removed and the pitch was later seized by the British Army for the duration of World War I. The club became professional in 1936 and work started on the initial section of terracing that was constructed at the northern part of the field. In the following year after being crowned the Southern League, a similar terrace was constructed at the southern 'Churchmans' 'Churchmans'. The entire side was terraced by 1954 and floodlights were installed in 1959 to be used in less lighting conditions. Two-tier Portman Stand was built along the east-facing side of the field to replace the previous terraces in the year 1971. Then, that of the West Stand was extended in 1982, with the construction of a third level. The newly constructed West Stand was renamed as the "Pioneer Stand because of the club's sponsorship from the electronics firm Pioneer Corporation and was converted to all-seating seating in the year 1990. In 1992, in response to its recommendations from Taylor Report Taylor Report in the wake of the Hillsborough tragedy in earlier in the season, both the terraces of both the south and north stands were also made all-seating. It was the first stadium that was all-seater in the top division of English football, with a seating capacity of 22600.

The successes that were witnessed on the pitch resulted in more investment in the infrastructure and the club has spent more than PS22 million on the redevelopment of both North as well as South stands, leading to an annual capacity of 30,311 which makes it the biggest capacity football ground within East Anglia. Over the last ten years, the statues of Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson have been unveiled on the outside of the stadium. Its North Stand was renamed in honor of the the former coach Sir Bobby Robson in September 2009. On the 31st March 2012, as part of celebrations marking the 50th anniversary celebrations of Ipswich Town taking their first ever 1st Division on their 1st attempt the South Stand was renamed in the name of Ipswich and the former England coach Sir Alf Ramsey. Portman Road now features two stands named in honour of the two managers who have had the most success during their time at the club, and also being two of England's greatest managers. The 10th of July, 2012 marked the day that the West Stand, formerly known as the Pioneer Stand and the Britannia Stand was changed to"East of England" Cooperative Stand after a partnership that was signed with the East of England Co-operative Society. The Co-op's sponsorship ran until 2021, at which point it was not renewed , and was renamed The West Stand. This is what the East Stand of Portman Road is formerly called Portman Stand, formerly known as Portman Stand, is called the Cobbold Stand, named after the owners who were the original owner of the team. Its playing field at Portman Road is highly regarded and has been named the top field in football on a variety times. The groundsman who was the former manager, Alan Ferguson, received many awards that included the Premiership as well as Championship Groundsman of Year. The stadium also played host to numerous England youth international games as well as a major England International friendly match against Croatia in 2003.

A popular name that has been used for Town has been "The Tractor Boys", which was first coined during the short time the team was during the Premier League from 2000-01 to 2001-2002, during which the team often played against the more popular clubs. The nickname is a form of self-deprecating humor that refers to the town's agricultural past. The roots of the nickname aren't certain, however the first time that the usage of the name was conceived while playing for Leeds United in 2000-2001: Ipswich won the match with a score of 2-1. Leeds supporters began chanting "We're being defeated by a group truck drivers.' Fans of well-established Premiership club during Town's time in the Premiership gave the satirical"1-0 in the direction of the Tractor Boys' increased potency and public attention, and the name is often utilized by media. A former Town director Jim Magilton commented, in the local media in the local press, that he was not a fan of the term and stated that it conjures images of yokels that eat carrots, however, players like Matt Holland accepted the chant with humor.

Ipswich have a worldwide fan base that includes Ipswich Town Supporters Club being the only club's official Ipswich Town Supporters Club with supporters' clubs around the world. Ipswich have a close relationship in German soccer club Fortuna Dusseldorf and Fortuna Dusseldorf, with Fortuna supporters making an annual trip the club's Portman Road since 2006. Ipswich fans also organize trips to the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf to cheer on Fortuna in their home games. Both clubs played a preseason friendlies at Dusseldorf in 2015. This was the first game that was played by the two clubs.

The team's biggest rivals include Norwich City. When the two teams play it is referred to as the "East Anglian Derby or, more casually known as the 'Old farm derby', which is a humorous reference to the "Old Firm Derby" that is played against Scottish team Celtic as well as Rangers and the significance farming throughout East Anglia. The tradition began in the latter half of the 20th century and each club was amateur associations. The first derby was played between two clubs on November 1902; an initial derby between two professional clubs in 1939. Locally, there is a lot about the informal name "Pride of Anglia". People claim that the title comes from taking home or claiming the East Anglian Derby, finishing with the highest score in the league, or having the best current league position and the most prosperous club's time and time again.

Mick Mills holds the record for Ipswich league appearances, playing 741 games for the first team between 1966 between 1966 and 1982. The top scorer in the league was Ray Crawford, who scored the most goals in 1958 and 1969. Ted Phillips holds the record for the highest number of league goals scored during an entire season, scoring 41 during the 1956-57 season of division Three (South). Allan Hunter won the most international caps during his time for the club having 47 international appearances in Northern Ireland during his time at Ipswich.

The team's biggest victory margins in the league were their 7-0 win over Portsmouth during the Second Division in 1964, against Southampton in the First Division in 1974 and against West Bromwich Albion in the First Division in 1976. Their most lopsided losses during the season was 10-1 to Fulham in 1963, and 9-0 in the league against Manchester United in 1995.

The record attendance at Ipswich's home stadium is 38,010 at the sixth round FA Cup match against Leeds United on March 8, 1975. Since the introduction of rules for all-seater stadiums in the future and stadiums with all-seater seating, it is unlikely the record can be broken within the next few years.

The highest transfer amount received from the Ipswich player was PS8.1 million in the deal that was worth more than by PS12 millions from Sunderland in exchange for Connor Wickham in June 2011 and the highest sum of money spent by the club for one individual is PS4.75 million to acquire Matteo Sereni from Sampdoria in July 2001 following the club's selection as a participant in the UEFA Cup.

Bobby Robson is the club's longest-serving manager, in terms of games he managed, having managed Ipswich for 709 games between 1969 to 1982. Scott Duncan is the club's longest-serving manager according to the amount of time as manager of the club as he managed Ipswich for 6,487 hours between 1937 and 1955.

Ipswich have maintained an unbeaten records at home in European competition. The record was set in the year 1962, when Ipswich's club was first eligible to compete in to play in the European Cup. For the past 45 decades, Ipswich held the record for the longest uninterrupted run of home games in European competition, having an uninterrupted streak of 31 home matches that were undefeated. The team's absence from competitions in recent years, the record was set through Dutch team AZ Alkmaar, but remains an unbeatable historic record among British clubs.
