This is the story of Ipswich Town's highs and lows told through the unrivalled picture archive of the "East Anglian Daily Times" and "Evening Star" newspapers. It is a must-have book of memories for both loyal fans and lovers of football history. You can take a trip back in time to a decade which saw Ipswich Town go from glory to heartbreak. The 1980s began with Ipswich winning the UEFA Cup in an unforgettable season which also saw them come agonisingly close to capturing the League Championship and the FA Cup. After that, though, it all went wrong horribly quickly. Bobby Robson left for the England job, star players drifted away, and within five years of the UEFA Cup triumph, the unthinkable happened - Town were relegated. The remainder of the 1980s saw Ipswich in the doldrums, struggling to make any real impact in Division Two, with dwindling and increasingly disgruntled crowds. The story of the 1980s is told through the unrivalled picture archive of the "East Anglian Daily Times" and "Evening Star" newspapers. You can relive every high and low, every triumph and disaster, through hundreds of evocative photographs. They tell the tale of a decade which had just about everything.

About the Author:
Terry Hunt, the editor of the East Anglian Daily Times newspaper since 1996, has been an Ipswich Town fan for more than 40 years. Brought up in the heart of Suffolk, Terry started attending games in 1968, as Bill McGarry's team surged back to the old First Division. In the four decades since, Terry - along with thousands of other Ipswich Town fans - has experienced a roller coaster ride with many fantastic highs and several awful lows. Away from football and work, Terry is married to Jane, the EADT's crown court reporter, and they have three children - two boys and a girl in their teens and early 20s. Terry enjoys watching most sports as a spectator, he has completed two London Marathons (very slowly) and plays golf (very badly).
