Whymark scored 104 goals in 335 outings for Ipswich.

And he scooped two trophies with the club, first landing the Texaco Cup in 1973 before securing FA Cup glory in 1978.

Whymark remains Ipswich’s sixth-highest goal scorer in club history.

He was inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame in 2012.

And the forward’s prowess up top saw him land one England cap against Luxembourg in 1977.

Whymark was signed by Ipswich from Diss Town in 1969 by Sir Bobby Robson.

After 10 years at Portman Road, he spent time with Derby County and Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam.

Whymark then enjoyed a spell in Canada with the Vancouver Whitecaps, scoring 25 goals in 57 games while winning the NASL (North American Soccer League) title.

He returned to England in 1980 with Grimsby Town, where he netted 16 times in 93 games during four years.

And between 1984 and 1985, he played for Southend, Peterborough and Colchester before closing the door on his career with boyhood club Diss Town.
