An Evening with Russell Osman at Ufford Park, Woodbridge, Suffolk
12/04/2024 @ 19:30

EVENT DESCRIPTION


Join us at the Ufford Park Resort, Woodbridge, Suffolk on Friday 12th April 2024 for an evening with Ipswich Town legend Russell Osman



Russell played nearly 400 games for Ipswich Town between 1977 and 1985, playing in every game when Ipswich won the 1980–81 UEFA Cup, and being a key member of what was one of the best teams in the country at the time under Bobby Robson, finishing as runners-up in the old First Division in successive seasons in 1980/81 and 1981/82


Making his FA Cup debut when still only eighteen, Russell also played four times in the earlier rounds when Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978, but wasn't part of the squad for the final itself


Russell left Ipswich in the summer of 1985, subsequently playing for Leicester, Southampton Bristol City, Brighton and Cardiff, also representing England eleven times whilst at Portman Road


In 1981, along with some other Ipswich players, Russell played one of the prisoner-of-war footballers in the John Huston directed film Escape to Victory, which also included Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow and World Cup winners Pelé, Ossie Ardiles, and Bobby Moore. The film was based on a game between an Allied team and a Nazi German team during the Second World War.


Our evening will consist of Russell sharing with you stories about his life and times with Ipswich Town and beyond, his acting career(!), as well as no doubt his views on the current Ipswich team and their prospects.


After a short break, Russell will take questions from the floor for the rest of the evening, which will end around 10.30-11.00pm.


Doors open for Standard tickets at 7.00pm for 7.30pm, with a limited number of VIP tickets available for early access from 6.00pm for a pre-event glass of fizz and a mingle, meet and greet with Russell.
