About Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town, the pride of Suffolk and long-time residents of Portman Road, punch far above their size in English football history. This free Ipswich quiz covers the whole story — from two of the greatest managers the English game has produced to the blue of the Tractor Boys.
Both of Ipswich's defining eras were built by legendary bosses. Alf Ramsey led the club to the First Division title in 1961-62 — their only league championship — before taking England to the 1966 World Cup. Then Bobby Robson built a side that won the 1978 FA Cup and the 1981 UEFA Cup, powered by home-grown talents like Kevin Beattie. Portman Road has been home throughout.
Expect questions on Ramsey's champions, Robson's cup-winning teams, the 1981 European run, Portman Road, and the club's famous blue. Difficulty climbs from easy openers to hard deep cuts on specific finals and seasons.
