Magic Proud of Town

Speaking to the Ipswich Evening star the former Northern Ireland international said: “So many players have been forced to leave Portman Road because of the financial plight the club found itself in, yet we are still in line for a return to the Premiership. It is a great achievement, yet there is so much more to come from this side. There are many big games left in us.

“On our day we are the best side in the division, but we have only shown that in glimpses. We are all in a positive mood about the Cardiff game and although I am not a great believer in the play-off system it will give a fantastic end to the season.

“The manager has remained upbeat and optimistic all the way through and we have all kept going. After the poor start we had it is a great feat by everybody at the club to be in the position we are now.”
