Magilton put pen to paper on a permanent deal with Town on March 22, 1999, moving to Ipswich from the Owls for a feee of almost £700,000.

It was to prove a steal for Town, with Magilton going on to lead the club ito the Premier League – having fired his only career hat-trick in that remarkable win over Bolton in the play-off semi-final second leg at Portman Road.
