It’s not often you get to write about a match that is a game of three thirds, but that pretty much sums up Tuesday’s Portman Cup clash played on the main pitch between two sides made up of fans desperately trying to emulate their heroes. Amongst them, playing in an unfamiliar left-back role, was TWTD’s Phil Ham.
Rookie manager Alan Lee got the better of veteran boss Bryan Hamilton as his side claimed the Portman Cup via a convincing 9-2 victory at Portman Road yesterday. Lee and Hamilton were taking charge of two teams of fans who had paid for the privilege of gracing the hallowed turf for an afternoon.

Terry Butcher claimed bragging rights over his former central defensive partner Russell Osman as his side ran out 11-2 victors at the 2016 Portman Cup at Portman Road on Friday afternoon.
Butcher and Osman - 35 years to the day since they helped the Blues to the UEFA Cup - took charge of two teams of fans who had paid for the privilege of gracing the hallowed turf, alongside ex-pros Jason Dozzell, James Pullen, Steve McGavin, Alan Lee and Simon Milton.
The players arrived at Portman Road at 1.30pm to find their kit laid out in the dressing rooms, just as the real teams would be on a Saturday afternoon.
