Back in the 70's - when ITV was much more split into regions around Britain, where I grew up we were classified in the Anglia region - even though both Norwich and Ipswich were twice as far away than London! It meant that on a Sunday afternoon we were stuck with Gerry Harrison presenting "Match of the Week" and the format would normally mean most of the show covering Norwich/Ipswich and even now and again the feature game would be something like Colchester v Rochdale - gripping stuff I am sure for fans of those teams but for the rest of us?

To really compound matters, Liverpool might be playing Manchester United the same weekend of which we would be lucky to get 2 minutes of action at the end of the show. The following clip features a rare weekend when the featured game was one worth watching as Ipswich Town took on West Brom. Still looking back at this today you can see there were some really great goals and this Ipswich side were right up there as one of the elite teams of the time. Bobby Robson's team at this time would win both the FA Cup and UEFA Cup and were regularly challenging for the league title - and you can see why below.
