Match of the Eighties - 1980-81
This was the first program in a six-part series, first aired by the BBC in 1997, in which Danny Baker took a retrospective look at the preceding decade's football. While the attention of league champions Liverpool was diverted towards regaining their European crown, our very own Blue's and Aston Villa fought out the closest of title races.

All-Time FA Cup Record
Just when Droylsden thought that they had won their FA Cup tie against Chesterfield at the fourth time of asking their trip to Portman Road in round three is in question after they were found to have fielded an ineligible player in last weeks replay and may be ejected from the competition. If Town do take on the Blue Square North side next weekend in will be the fourth time since 2000 that they have taken on non-league opposition in the Cup. On the other hand should Chesterfield take their place it will the first ever meeting between the Blue's and Spireites.

YouTube: John O'Rourke
John O'Rourke spent just over a year at Portman Road, most of which was spent on the transfer list. Bill McGarry signed him from Middlesboro in February, 1968 and his 12 goals in 15 appearances helped Town clinch the Second Division Championship. Northampton born O'Rourke decided he wanted away shortly after the title win and was finally sold to Coventry City for £80,000 by Bobby Robson in November 1969. He'd managed to net a further 18 goals in 57 appearances but had his sights on bigger and better things and decided that wasn't going to happen for him in Suffolk. Here he talks mainly about his time at Middlesbrough. More

European Pennants
Town supporters lucky enough to have travelled around Europe with the Blue's during the 1970's and early 1980's, where more often than not rewarded for their efforts with some sublime performances from Bobby Robson's men, and if they travelled on one of the official supporters tours, a souvenir pennant from the travel company too! Here we present pennants from twelve trips, starting with the one to the Santiago Bernabeu in 1973 where Town ko'd Spanish giants Real Madrid (in the UEFA Cup) and ending with the journey to Germany in 1981 for the UEFA Cup Semi-Final against 1.FC Cologne [Many thanks to Don White].

Greeting Cards
Here we present a collection of greeting cards produced by the Club for resale and as seasonal greetings to suppliers, dignitaries and supporters. The sending of greeting cards to friends and family is a tradition that goes back around two-hundred years gaining mass popularity with the introduction of the world's first postage stamp issued in 1840. Our collection doesn't quite go back that far but does include a Christmas Card from the Chairman, Directors and Club Officials dating from 1949. It also includes personalised cards for Junior Blue's members on their birthdays, and designs that incorporate images of Portman Road, squad photo's and player autographs alike. More
