Last updated : 15 May 2009 By ESPN
The action kicks off on Monday 18th with Ipswich Town's 1978 FA Cup final against Arsenal which saw an emotional Roger Osbourne score a left-footer to give his underdog side a 1-0 victory.

Then catch The Blue's bitter-sweet victory in the 1981 UEFA Cup Final 2nd Leg against AZ Alkmaar, which they entered with a 3-0 first leg advantage. Even though the Dutch side hammered home four goals to Ipswich's two, the Tractor Boys had done just enough to hold onto the trophy, winning with a triumphant 5-4 aggregate score line.

The Channel has also put together a fitting compilation to celebrate the 1980/81 squad's journey to the top of Division One. Featuring top action against Liverpool, Coventry and Arsenal, the Ipswich Town Compilation recaps the road Robson's squad took to win the hearts of the league, only to have the title snatched from them on the final day by Aston Villa.

To round it all off on Wednesday 27th May, The Season looks back on the highs and the lows of those great nine months that undoubtedly shaped the clubs finest era.
