[quote user="Carra Rud"]Long time ago but can anyone supply the teams/scorers for the 3-3 Boxing Day derby 1979?

Thanks

No idea about Ipswich. For Norwich:


Keelan; Kevin Bond, Roger Brown, David Jones, Downs; Mendham, Peters, John Ryan, Paddon; Alan Taylor, Keith Robson. Justin Fashanu came on as sub. Our scorers were Taylor, Robson and Mendham.

Wednesday, December 26, 1979

Division One: Norwich City 3, Ipswich Town 3

(Att 24,335)

Keith Robson ruined Bobby Robson''s Boxing Day with a last-minute equaliser for the Canaries in a six-goal thriller.

Town led through Eric Gates before Peter Mendham and Alan Taylor put City 2-1 up at the break.

Arnold Muhren and John Wark restored Ipswich''s lead but it was Robson to the rescue, deflecting a David Jones shot into the net.

“We were so much on top in the first half it was a joke,” said Robson later.

“The amount of chances we''d had we should have wrapped it up. I was our best ever chance of beating them.”

City: Keelan, Bond, Downs, Ryan, Brown (Fashanu), Jones, Mendham, Taylor, Robson, Paddon, Peters.

Town: Cooper, Burley, Butcher, Thijssen, Hunter, Osman, Wark, Muhren, Mills, Gates, Brazil. Sub: McCall.
