Thats the one - around NYD 1984.  Who bagged?

Owen and Thompson. Thommo late on. Gates put them 1 up early on. Went with my dad to that match. Us and Ipswich on a download slope at the time.

Unbelievable knowledge. 

I defo recall Gates giving them the lead and Thompson scoring.  Shortly before the Vile home game

Coming back to more modernish times, anyone recall a ridiculously flattering 4-0 v them in the Mowbray days, about 2007 or so.

We were winning 1-0 and hanging on, with them looking like they deserved a draw, and then about 2 minutes from the end we got another and bizarrely got another two in added time, which was 5 mins or so. Sure Kevin Phillips bagged a couple.

I recall it was around the time the Police had reformed as me and my mate were talking to an Ipswich fan on the train who'd seen them at a recent concert.

It was a total injustice on them.

Don’t remember that one but I do remember the 5-1 away win about the same time, esp one sweeping move from back to front in about 3 passes before SKP nodded it in

Of course there is the 3-1 FA Cup semi defeat of 78, which even now over 45 years later is singularly the most miserable I ever felt as an Albion fan. I was too young to recall 68, even though I was alive, and we had such a cracking side in those Atkinson days.

Also not long before there was a horrible 7-0 just after we were promoted in 1976. They were on fire that day and everything they hit flew in. I recall dreading facing the Villa fans at school on the Monday. The fact it was televised and on Star Soccer made it far worse.

I've seen victories since, but they are one of those clubs I really want us to beat, but no wins can ever make up for that defeat at Highbury.

Even now a Baggie since 1975 I haven't seen us win a cup, like many of us haven't. It's galling, especially in an era where it seems the chances of a pot for a club outside the chosen few appears increasingly like wishful thinking.
I went to that 7-0 aged about 10.  The deranged Redditch supporters club coach driver contrived to get horribly lost both on the way there and the way back.   Meaning that we got in at 2:59 or something in one of the home stands (pay on the gate) and home about midnight.   To be fair their goals were something else that day-don't even think we played that badly.

On a more cheerful note-didn't we do them 4-0 in the reverse fixture on a Wednesday night-possibly Laurie's first game (almost certainly his first home game)

Yes it was. Awful weather and I think Thommo slid through the mud to get the winner.

We did. Bryan Robson hattrick. Laurie got the other.
IIRC the Ipswich keeper got injured and one of their outfield players had to go between the sticks.
