When Ipswich defied the odds and caught Kenny Dalglish’s Liverpool cold
Relegation-threatened hosts managed the unimaginable at Portman Road against the title-chasers in the winter of 1986
The Challenger Space Shuttle disaster had shocked the world; A-ha were about to be knocked off the No 1 spot by Billy Ocean; the England cricket team had started their Caribbean tour that would take a route from bad to worse and the UK was experiencing a cold snap that would see large parts of the country covered in snow. Welcome to the winter of 1986.
Admittedly the clubs have not played each other much since, but you have to go back to February 1986 for the last time Ipswich defeated Liverpool at Portman Road. Even Kieran McKenna was not born, although is it just me or are more football managers looking younger now?
