The family of a former Diss and Ipswich Town football star has paid tribute to him following his death after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Trevor Whymark, who was signed for the Tractor Boys by Sir Bobby Robson from Diss Town FC in 1969, died on Thursday, aged 74. The one-cap England striker and Burston native scored 104 goals in 335 games for Ipswich, before joining Derby County in 1979. He was also recognised in 2021 when he was inducted into the Ipswich Town Hall of Fame. His son, Craig, said: “He was so proud to play for Diss because his dad, Donnie Whymark, played for them as well.
