Ipswich Town rename bar after club legend Kevin Beattie

A bar at a football club stadium has been named after a player acclaimed as the club's greatest.

The former Legends bar at Ipswich Town's Portman Road will now be known as Beattie's in honour of ex-defender Kevin Beattie.

His daughter, Emma Harvey, said her father would have been "overwhelmed" at the tribute.

Fundraising is currently under way to erect a statue of Beattie outside the stadium.

Beattie died aged 64 in September.
