Tuesday, January 08, 2008 Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam Wednesday, May 20th, 1981 In 2001, to mark the 20th anniversary of Town’s historic UEFA Cup win in Amsterdam, photographer and Ipswich fan Julian Germain (some of whose works are catalogued here) put together an article for a Dutch football magazine called ‘Johan’ (presumably after a certain Mr. Cruyff). I’ve never seen a copy of the article, but I understand it included a four double page spread on two of the best players ever to have donned the blue-and-white of Ipswich – the Dutch pair Arnold Muhren and Frans Thijssen – who were instrumental in a 5-4 aggregate win in the two-legged final and indeed of getting Ipswich there in the first place Julian borrowed the pictures that you see above and here for, I’m led to believe, inclusion in that article (he had originally discovered the photos over on our big brother site). It took him a while to return the originals, some time the following year I seem to recall, by which time I’d lost interest and I never did get around to asking whether the snaps were included in the article or not. Perhaps someone out there has a copy of the May 2001 issue of said magazine and could let me know. posted by chevblue at 8:39 PM |
