Ipswich Town FC - A European Tour - Season Review 2001 - 2002 (DVD)

...Saints.

2) Ipswich Town vs. Inter Milan home leg

One of the most memorable nights of european football at Portman Road for a long time now. Alun Armstrong leaps and heads to get a memorable win.

3) Ipswich Town vs. Sunderland

Great game of football and commanding performance from the Blues to secure a 5-0 win against Peter Reids Black Cats. It was 4-0 at half time and on this performance ...
...hat-trick from Bobic. We were awful that day

3) Ipswich 0 - 1 Manchester United

Last home game of the season, where we actually played well. However, Ruud Van Nistelroy blatantly dives and wins a penalty, which he converts. Hes not my favorite player.  ... more

All the promise from 2000/2001 season is not carried on through to the Tractor Boys European Tour, and this VHS/DVD shows the demise of one of the most attractive footballing teams that the Premiership has seen.

Showing all the highs and mainly lows of the season, as well all the goals and some interviews. It is a tidy little presentation, well worth a view if you didnt see any highlights of the season.

Although I had a season ticket with the Blues, this is a good VHS to catch up and appreciate some of the good football we played. Also, I do like buying the videos and DVDs to keep a collection.

Also features extended highlights from the UEFA Cup, from the three ties of Torpedo Moscow (miss of the season is in the away tie), Helidsingborg (great away win) and of course Inter Milan.

Overall, a good VHS to own to recapture the action, but if you cant help but think 'how did we get relegated' or simply are still hurt, dont remind yourself. Good little presentation though. Here are my top three moments on the VHS which are definately worth a look.

1) Southampton vs. Mark Venus

The left back scores a screamer of a goal from 25 yards as Town earn a 3-3 draw at their very first visit to St Mary's. This was also Gordan Strachans first game in charge of the Saints.

2) Ipswich Town vs. Inter Milan home leg

One of the most memorable nights of european football at Portman Road for a long time now. Alun Armstrong leaps and heads to get a memorable win.

3) Ipswich Town vs. Sunderland

Great game of football and commanding performance from the Blues to secure a 5-0 win against Peter Reids Black Cats. It was 4-0 at half time and on this performance quite baffling how we managed to get relegated. Great goal from Finidi George.

Three lows

1) Liverpool 5 - 0 Ipswich

Last game of the season which confirms the return to the nationwide for the Tractor Boys. A woeful performance, coupled with some great defending from Titus Bramble and poor finishing from Marcus Steward which reflects the season that we had.

2) Bolton 4 - 1 Ipswich

This pretty much consigned us to relegation. Promoted Bolton beat us 4-1 with a hat-trick from Bobic. We were awful that day

3) Ipswich 0 - 1 Manchester United

Last home game of the season, where we actually played well. However, Ruud Van Nistelroy blatantly dives and wins a penalty, which he converts. Hes not my favorite player.
