Remember this result as if it was yesterday. I was a teenage Ipswich supporter form Bulgaria, hoping we stay up. Remember paper calling Atkins scored the most important goal keeping Ipswich up (most likely). Then remember the horror of Oxford winning their 3 games in hand, after the season had ended. Nowadays I have ifollow Ipswich subscription and am happy we are on the up!
This game holds alot of memories.Firstly a great Town win but the Weds previous to that Ireland were playing an International game and being the cheeky so and so that I am I asked Ray Houghton would he take my autograph book to Portman Road as I lived in Dublin and get the autographs of the Town team.To my suprise he obliged and posted it back to me the following week. A real gent.
I remember this being the first game I watched on video tape after my folks bought a VHS player for what I believe was around £200-£300 from Solar in Ipswich. Never get tired of watching that Ian Atkins goal, but even now that was never a freekick!
Remember it well big terry butcher played his part still playing for England at the time Carried this team until the end but relegation was sadly the last season he played in the top division with Ipswich town
Absolute brilliant atmosphere ,not even16000 in the ground yet it sounded like 30.000.The noise when the winner went in was unreal,still it meant nothing as Arsenal went to a lame 3 nil defeat to Oxford and we lost 2 .1 at West Ham to send us down.Oh and that was never a free kick 😂
I was at this game. Police were anticipating fans in the North Stand trying to get on the pitch but the fans in Churchmans ran on the pitch. I think there was a controversial penalty decision at West Ham that went against us; Terry Butcher remonstrated with the ref at the end of that West Ham game.

Before my time (born in 1991), but love watching these videos. Great to hear some of the chants haven’t changed
This was my first ever ipswich game at 8 years old. I've been hooked ever since ⚽️💙⚽️💙
I have distant memories of watching this one as a five year old with my dad.
Having been to the game as an Oxford fan I still recall the fans calling out there’s only one Tommy Cooper

Paul Cooper was small but what a goal keeper he Was brilliant at saving penaltys
❤❤❤

how the hell is that not a foul on Judge for the ITFC first goal?!?
Rules may well have been different back then.
also - that was NOT a foul on Dozzell either at the end for FK. Justice was served when ITFC went down and OU stayed up from what i can see from this.
Oxford should have gone down. Maxwell paid Arsenal off to get smashed by Oxford in the last game of the season.
Agreed both points but the foul on Butcher would have resulted in a sending off today. But all games are like that, full of what ifs.
And Ipswich went down anyway
Anglia Soccer Special or ASS for short.
