Ipswich Town legend Marcus Stewart is to be a special guest at Portman Road for tomorrow's clash against Plymouth Argyle.

Stewart, who was diagnosed with MND in September last year, will watch from the Directors Box with members of his family.

The 50 year old played for the Blues as a forward between 2000 and 2002, playing a key role in the Tractor Boys promotion to the Premier League.

A number of his former teammates will also be at the game, along with former manager George Burley.

Marcus will be interviewed on the pitch at half time.

Ipswich Town launched a range of special Marcus Stewart accessories following his diagnosis last year - with profits going to the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.

Marcus' wife Louise has also set up a JustGiving page where fans can donate.
