NASC Ambassadors
We are delighted to have the support of these two total legends, who are our first official ambassadors to the NASC!
Craig Forrest
Born and raised in British Columbia, Canada, Craig played 263 times for Ipswich Town in a career that spanned from 1984 to 1997, and was capped 56 times for Canada.
During his Town career he was an ever-present of the promotion-winning team in 1992-93, from the old Second Division to the newly created Premier League. Amazingly, given how things are nowadays, he was one of only 13 foreign players to be involved in that first ever Premier League weekend.
After his retirement from football, Craig worked as a sports analyst on Canadian TV and still appears as a broadcaster for the Canadian men’s national team and Toronto FC. He is also the Canadian FIFA Ambassador for SOS Children's Villages.
A real legend of Ipswich Town, and a great ambassador to the NASC!

Kate Riley
Kate Riley is a former season ticket holder in the Upper North Stand. She grew up in Woodbridge but was born in California, USA.
Whilst Suffolk will always be home, she has lived in the US, UK, Middle East and Asia working as a sports broadcaster for over two decades for the biggest news and sports networks.
Kate splits her time between Philadelphia and Singapore where she runs the Singapore ITFC Supporters Branch, and also represents Asia on behalf of the Official ITFC Supporters' Club . Her all time favorite Ipswich player is Shefki Kuqi and is proud to have earned her stripes as a budding sports journalist interviewing Roy Keane during his spell at ITFC.
Kate's a great connector of people, as she's shown in her time both in the USA & more recently in Singapore, and we are delighted she'll help the NASC in this honorary role with us.
