Ex-England manager Sir Bobby Robson has been named president of former club Ipswich Town.
The 73-year-old, who managed the Blues for 13 years before being appointed England boss in 1982, is the club's first president since the death of Lady Blanche Cobbold in 1987.
Robson, whose new position is an honorary role only, presided over the most successful period in Ipswich's history, winning the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup and twice finishing runners-up in the old Division One.
He said: "I'm extremely flattered to have been asked to become the president of Ipswich.
"Despite going on to manage England, Barcelona and Newcastle , the 13 years in charge at Portman Road were among the happiest days of my managerial career.
"I still think of Ipswich as my baby and always will."
