Ipswich Town FC are the professional football team of Ipswich, in East Anglia, England. They are known as the Tractor Boys because of Ipswich's agricultural history, and also as the Blues for the colour of their jerseys. Ipswich won the League in the 1961/62 under the management of Sir Alf Ramsey, and the FA Cup in 1978 with Bobby Robson at the helm. Town also won the UEFA Cup in 1981, beating Dutch team AZ Alkmaar 5-4 in a two-legged final.
More recently, Ipswich have experienced the highs and lows of relegation from and promotion to the Premiership under manager George Burley, finishing 5th in the Premier league, and qualifying for the UEFA Cup, where they beat Inter Milan at home in a famous victory, although they eventually lost the tie over two legs with a 3-1 defeat in Italy. However, next season, the club's fortunes changed, being relegated to the first division (now named the Football League Championship). The subsequent loss of income led to the club going into administration, and finished 7th in the league. The 2003/2004 season saw the club come out of administration and continue to challenge for promotion back to the Premier League. They finished fifth in Division One and qualified for the season ending play-offs. Unfortunately, West Ham United defeated the Blues with a 2-1 aggregate score over two legs to qualify for the play-off final in Cardiff.
Ipswich Town's current manager is Joe Royle. Their main rivals are Norwich City.
