Bob The Badger Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Just 68 and I can't hear his name without thinking of that marvelous Ipswich team of the 79s and 80s. RIP. archram, SKRam, Gaspode and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Sad news indeed. Sign of the times I guess, as we all move closer and closer to "That generation"! Very much a part of "My era", when my attention to football in general was at its most concentrated. Not quite an all-time great, (Ipswich fans may well argue that point, and rightly so!), but most certainly a very good player, in a very good (Ipswich) team, to the point of having a big part to play in their European success. I also (vaguely) recall him scoring in 6 (?) consecutive England appearances, which stood him alongside Greavesie, I believe, so far from shabby, even with Three Lions on his shirt. (I think he also scored the game-killer against France at Spain '82 (The game where Robson scored after 8 seconds ish)? Yeah... more than decent... sad news indeed. RIP, sir... and thanks for the memories, as vague as they are. xxx I know nothing, uttoxram75, Bob The Badger and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Top player domestically. Vital member of that great Ipswich side. They played such lovely football. Not quite up to it at England level. We really struggled for international level strikers until Linekar came along in the 86. 68 though. What a shame.

richinspain Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 As @Mucker1884 has said, part of my era for the same reasons. Although he wasn't world class he was a very good player in a very good Ipswich side. Very sad news, especially for his family, friends and Ipswich fans in particular. RIP.

Mostyn6 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 A name that reminds me of Panini Stickers. Cannot remember much of his footballing ability though but he was in the first few albums of stickers I collected. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Scored the 3rd for us vs France in wc1982. Ron greenwood's Harry kane for England. Rip Paul SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dordogne-Ram Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I seem to remember that he signed for DCFC on loan from Ipswich but due to health reasons didn't actually play for us. Cannot find any reference to him in any dcfc records - can anyone else recall this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played I think 2 games for us before taking ill with (I think) glandular fever. Premier ram and Reggie Greenwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correction Rich - the glandular fever confirms it for me. richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
