ENGLAND international Kieron Dyer was at Portman Road on Tuesday watching Ipswich Town reserves beat Milton Keynes Dons 2-1 in the Combination.
And he confirmed his keenness in seeing Ridgeons League, First Division Whitton United do well.
Dyer, 28 and looking in the rudest of health after long-term injury and illness worries, is Whitton's main sponsor.
And the Newcastle United midfielder revealed that he looks out for Whitton's scores every week.
Linked to Whitton in a three-year deal and with his own Soccer School set to commence at the club in the near future, Dyer said: “My mother Jackie saves the Green 'Un every week and I read all about Whitton. And I also go to the ground whenever I can.
