Club History
Ipswich Town F.C. was founded in 1878 and turned professional in 1936, joining the Football League two years later.

The club enjoyed further glory in the late 1970s and early 1980s under Bobby Robson, winning the FA Cup in 1978 and the UEFA Cup in 1981. Known as The Tractor Boys, Ipswich has a loyal fanbase and a proud reputation for producing talented players and playing attractive football.
