We have more legends than you!
Sunday 22 June 2014, Ipswich Town Legends 6 Norwich City Legends 1, Cedars Park - Stowmarket
First ever game at Cedars Park, what could become a great location for football.
Ipswich not only won the game but had more legends on show, In Wark and Dyer we had two who had played in a World Cup - Norwich were so short of their own 'legends' they drafted in a rather large (but tanned) Dean Holdsworth!

Derelict but for how much longer? Surrey Docks Stadium - Fisher FC
May 2014
Derelict sites can look sad but also interesting, derelict football stadiums always eem to have a tale to tell. The pitch always deteriorates first, long grass, weeds, then fly-tipping but for months and often years the stands and terraces remain – looking like the ground could re-open once the grass was cut then the colour of the plastic seats fades, the vandals move in, graffiti arrives and then metal is removed for scrap but even then you can still often see the steps in the terrace or an old stand wall.
Surrey Docks Stadium was once home to Fisher FC, the site in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe has been derelict since 2004 when Fisher moved out but now the site has been earmarked for housing and the plan also includes Fisher moving back to a new ground on the opposite side of Salter Road. So in the next few years we may see Fisher return to Rotherhithe.

Tartan Army and a Nigerian band
Wednesday 28 May 2014 - Nigeria 2 Scotland 2, Friendly - Craven Cottage, Fulham
Great day spent with the Tartan Army (and the Nigerian band) - football was not bad either but my late Father would have been proud as I watched my first Scotland game with the kilted Tartan Army.

Sunday 18 May 2014, Forget-Me-Not FC 0 Ipswich Town Legends 9, Ram Meadow - Bury Town
Great turnout for great causes - good to see some of the older Town legends back in the blue shirt. Best player? A certain Kieron Dyer but the highlight? A certain 13 year old who came on as a sub and scored - Kae Dyer.
