In this week’s Ipswich Town nostalgia, we look back to February 2 2008, when Town clinched their first away win of the 2007-08 season in the Championship, thanks to goals from Alan Quinn and Alan Lee
The Blues made a flying start when former Owls man Alan Quinn put Ipswich ahead in the fourth minute when he received a short pass from Jonathan Walters and the midfielder unleashed a stunning 25-yard drive into the top corner.
However, the lead lasted just nine minutes as Marcus Tudgay put Wednesday level, when he reacted quickest to a loose ball into the bottom corner from 15 yards.
Ipswich began to get on top in the second half, but chances were limited until Alan Lee converted Alex Bruce’s right-wing cross for his 10th goal of the season.
Bruce picked up the loose ball and found himself some space and sent in a cross to the far post which Quinn nodded back into the box and Lee stabbed past Grant and into the net on the 71st minute in front of the Town fans to clich the Blues first away win of the 2007-08 season.
Town: Bywater, Wright, Harding, De Vos, Bruce, Garvan (Sumulikoski 76), Miller, Norris, Quinn (Haynes 84), Walters, Couñago (Lee 64). Unused: Colgan, Naylor.
