CBS NEWS: An Open Letter β An Emotional Message from Ashley Young to His Beloved Brothers, Fans of Ipswich Town F.C., and the Entire Ipswich Community πβ½
To my beloved brothers, my amazing fans, and the entire Ipswich community β I want to take this moment to speak from the heart. Football has given me everything: joy, lessons, friendships, and memories that will last forever. But what truly makes it special is the people β the supporters, the teammates, and the city that stands behind the badge. Ipswich, youβve shown me nothing but love, and for that, Iβm forever grateful.
From the moment I walked into Portman Road, I felt the spirit β the pride, the passion, and the sense of belonging that defines this club. Every chant, every cheer, and every message of encouragement pushed me to give my all, not just for the shirt, but for every fan who lives and breathes Ipswich Town. Youβve welcomed me like family, and Iβll carry that with me wherever I go.
To my teammates β my brothers β thank you for the battles, the laughter, and the unity. We fought together, trained together, and stood tall through every challenge. That bond is something Iβll never forget.
To the fans β your belief fuels this club. Whether in victory or defeat, your loyalty never fades. You remind us what football is truly about: heart, community, and togetherness.
Ipswich isnβt just a club β itβs a family, a legacy, and a home. And no matter where life takes me next, a part of my heart will always stay here.
With deep respect and endless gratitude,
Ashley Young πβ½
