This week's guest is the geneticist Dr Adam Rutherford and Adam has nominated Portman Road, home of Ipswich Town as his Ground Jewel.

Adam is a scientist, writer and broadcaster born and bred in Ipswich. We discussed his memories growing up during Ipswich's golden period in the late 70s and early 80s, his match going experience as well as his nervousness ahead of the climax of the 2023/24 season.

Adam also has one of the best Bobby Robson stories you'll ever hear.
