Kevin Foley and Ben Pringle’s first games for Ipswich Town, at Bristol City on Saturday, marked the 200th Blues debutant since the club were relegated from the Premier League in 2002.
Much has changed at Portman Road over the last 15 seasons, with 200 players making their debuts for the club in that time under six managers, although the Blues remain in the second tier and are currently the Championship’s longest serving club.
Here we take a look at the players to have made their bows for the Blues since relegation, courtesy of @chompx3.
