How the Ipswich Town quiz is checked
Every question above was written by hand and verified before it went live.
All 32 Ipswich Town questions were checked twice before publication — once against the claim the question makes, and once against the wrong answers offered beside it. A question whose wrong options can be dismissed without knowing any football is not really a question, so those get rewritten or dropped rather than padded out. Anything that could not be confirmed was removed rather than guessed, which is why some sets are smaller than others. Every one of them carries a written explanation. Spot something wrong and tell us — corrections from players are how the bank stays accurate.

About the Ipswich Town quiz
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.
Every question comes with a short explained answer, so even a miss teaches you the detail that makes it stick. Play the sample set below free in your browser, no sign-up needed. The full Ipswich Town quiz — plus daily challenges, leaderboards and multiplayer — is in the Ball IQ app.
