40 years ago today, Ipswich Town lifted the UEFA Cup.

Most of the pictures you will have seen of that remarkable cup run, and the subsequent celebrations in Ipswich, are in black and white - until now.

Sports visual specialist Ross Halls has colourised some of our images from the time - and we bring them to you today as part of our anniversary coverage.

Iconic images of Ipswich Town’s greatest triumph - in colour today for the first time.
