Just had a question on The Chase asking what did Gary Croft wear in a game for Ipswich Town in 2000, options were, an electronic tag, a hearing aid or sunglasses. The answer was the electronic tag, oh dear what had he been up to?

two charges of driving while disqualified, two of perverting the course of justice and driving without insurance.

Nope. It was a driving ban, he decided to ignore it by continuing to drive, so got sent down. Came out early wearing the tag.

The town fans really went to town on him , every time he got the ball all the fans were doing a police siren noise.

You could see in his face it effected him.

All in good fun as he got us £1. 7 million pound not bad for a youth that came for free and returned for free later.

There were a couple of lively characters in the Town squad around that time. Seem to recall Peter Handysides & Tony Gallimore had a few incidents, cant recall what, but there was a different culture back then in football.

I seem to think that Handyside lost his licence after parking his car on a roundabout one night and running off. Not a brilliant effort. I also remember seeing him staggering around outside of JD's when he was in the middle of a long injury lay-off. As with Gallimore, both were really good players, but it makes you wonder how much better they could have been with a bit less of the extra-curricular activities.
