Blues stars appeared for a second year running at an annual charity football match in memory of a well-known Suffolk non-league footballer.

Jerry Thorpe, a popular figure across the non-league football scene for 30 years, died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2021.

Throughout his career, Jerry played for the likes of Ipswich Wanderers, Bury Town, Sudbury Town, Framlingham and Clacton.
