'Bobby tribute can't distract us' says Ipswich keeper Richard Wright
IPSWICH goalkeeper Richard Wright insists his team must concentrate on securing a vital victory against Newcastle tonight on what will be an emotional evening at Portman Road.
Both clubs were managed by Sir Bobby Robson, who died of cancer in July, and the game will feature a ceremony at half-time during which the North Stand will be renamed in his honour.
Ipswich are second bottom with just four points and Wright said: "We all understand what Sir Bobby has done for Ipswich Town and it's going to be a big day, with the stand being renamed.
"But as a group of players, it's important we focus on our jobs."
The game is also vitally important to the Magpies who could find themselves deposed from second place by Middlesbrough.
