A programme from Townâs first ever professional game made £130 at an auction at Lockdales of Martlesham at the weekend.
The August 1936 souvenir edition was sold as a then-record 14,211 crowd turned out at Portman Road for the visit of Tunbridge Wells Rangers in the Southern League.
Mick OâBrienâs home side won 4-1 with goals from Jackie Blackwell, George Dobson, Bobby Bruce and Jackie Williams.
Another historic Town programme, just a single sheet, sold for £55. This was for the 1952 joint-benefit match for Harry Baird and Tommy Parker between the Blues first team and a Select XI, the first ever testimonial game at the club.
