The Fix starring Jason Isaacs (1997).

1 December 1962
Ipswich Town 2 Sheffield Wednesday 0.

A crowd of 17,256 at Portman Road saw Ipswich Town beat the previous season runners-up Sheffield Wednesday courtesy of two goals by Ray Crawford (6 mins and 34 mins).
Ipswich had been battered 1-5 at home by Birmingham City in their last home game and were seen by many as nailed-on relegation candidates. In fact at the time they were second from bottom of Division One.

The Daily Herald's Dave Richman said Ipswich often found themselves faced by "only a two-man Wednesday defence" and was it not for Ron Springett - the Wednesday goalkeeper and two glaring misses by Ray Crawford, the score could have been trebled.

The match had been thrown. There had been huge bets placed on it.

Tony Kay, Peter Swan and David (Bronco) Layne were eventually banned for life.

What was ironic, is that Tony Kay who signed for Everton a few weeks after for £60,000, was Sheffield Wednesday's best player that day.
