Ipswich Town: Norwich City’s Liam Gibbs on Blues’ promotion
Former Ipswich Town talent Liam Gibbs says his Blues-supporting dad is delighted to see Town back in the top tier – but still happy he made the move to rivals Norwich City.
Bury St Edmunds boy Gibbs rose through the ranks in Town’s academy from the age of eight, captaining various age groups.

He made his senior debut in the EFL Trophy at the age of 16, penned an 18-month professional contract on his 17th birthday and made a League One start against Charlton before turning 18.
Adam Idah has demonstrated why Celtic are keen to sign him permanently with a stunning acrobatic effort in training. And Norwich fans are adding millions to his price tag as a result.
The Irish international’s deadline day loan signing form the Canaries back in January was met with an underwhelming response by Hoops fans, who were left less than impressed with the business done to strengthen Brendan Rodgers’ squad. But come the end of the season, Idah had shown his worth a capped a successful stint at Parkhead with a last gasp Scottish Cup Final winner against Rangers to secure a domestic double.
Rodgers is keen to bring Idah back, but Norwich are keen to squeeze every pound they can if they are going to let the big Cork man leave Carrow Road. A fee of £8million has been floated and there seems to have been little movement on any potential Glasgow return. And now the yellows are saying the same thing after watching Idah find the net during an open training session.
