Although I wasn’t an Ipswich Town fan,as a young boy I knew all the players names and always looked forward to watching them whenever they were on the tv. They always played good football and were always entertaining. I finally got to see them when they played Charlton in the FA cup and I was like a rabbit in a headlight seeing all these top quality players. Ipswich won that day 3-2 to avoid a cup upset but I remember it was a fantastic game and atmosphere.

Been watching Town since 68 and Eric Gates is my favourite player of all time. Had no idea what a great character he is. The thing that strikes me about this is the relationship Bobby had with his players- based on mutual respect.

The Golden Years... Unfortunately every Ipswich side is now judged against this group and nothing will compare...So glad I got to be part of this era.

I lived in Ipswich from 73 / 79,and I so remember watching the fa cup final from our two TVs,I lived in capel st Mary, Paul cooper lived behind my school and would come give out school sports trophies ,a lot of the other players also lived in capel and Bobby Robson’s lived close by aswell,my mum made his wife a dress for the fa cup final day,,,all the kids gathering around the house because Robson’s car was on our drive ,, so good to listen to these three absolute legends .

Absolutely brilliant. The stories that they were able to share. In such an informal chat .3 of my favourite players. The great success of Ipswich town during the Robson era was they were a team that worked for each other. Pretty much how things are at PR under KM now. 👏

Thank you for uploading, really decent watch 💙💙

Great memories. Great times. 78 cup final best day of my life. From singing on the steps of Wembley at 1100 waiting for the gates to open to the drive back along the A12 with the crowds lining the bridges getting thicker and thicker. Priceless. I have Sunday newspaper cutting somewhere. The headline is 'The 1-0 slaughter.'

Cooper was always man of match at Anfield in those days , great goalkeeper

Great to some stories from the lads of what went on off the pitch! Lovely times.

My mum, girlfriend and I went to see Southampton v Ipswich in 1981 or 82 but didn't realise it was all-ticket (we were town fans living in Dorset). My mum spotted Eric at the Player's Entrance and explained our situation and he promptly returned from the dressing room with two complimentary tickets, and the third was provided by Bobby himself after a bit of banter with my mum. The game was lost 3-4 but two of the goals came from John Wark and the third from an assist by Eric. She wrote and thanked Bobby afterwards and received a very polite and heartfelt reply. They were such class...

The days when players played for the love of the game and not money. Real characters amongst them and Bobby Robson knew how to handle each and every one of them. Great times.

@@Andyferguson-ml4uo Of course they were but people were getting better pay on the docks in those days. Footballers salaries were nothing special.

What a great team they were Bobby Robson s super team !

Great memories. As the guys said, it was just a shame that they didn’t win the number of trophies they deserved.

Nice to hear from some of the players we don't normally hear from.

Three true ITFC stars

Remember John Walk getting hit in balls from a Liverpool freekick , we in the kop sang his name with a very high pitched voice thereafter , what a player Walk was for Ipswich Town and then Liverpool .

i remember this, wasnt it 10 years ago or so now?

Watched this earlier and laughing at bits watched this loads of times wished I was around during the robson era but I have the videos. Do you by any chance have the other one sky did covering the Ramsay era?

I was lucky enough to be of school age during the Robson era. There have been many changes to the game since then such as the number of permitted substitutions. Perhaps the biggest change is the reliance on the transfer market. These days many clubs will sign fourteen players in a couple of transfer windows rather than in thirteen years.
