Ipswich Town qualified
for their first venture into European competition by winning the League
championship in 1961/62. Their title success was probably the biggest
upset in modern championship history - the Suffolk side were playing in
their first season in the top flight and in fact had only been League
members for 17 seasons. They equipped themselves well in the European Cup
- recording a club record score against minnows Floriana in the First
Round before narrowly losing out to eventual winners AC Milan in the
Second. |
