An Ipswich Town fan has said he is "over the moon" after an amazing mural of Blues icon Sir Bobby Robson was painted on his garage.

Ivan Miller and his wife Debbie have honoured Sir Bobby with the artwork depicting the former manager celebrating the club's 1978 FA Cup triumph against Arsenal.

The Millers commissioned Liverpudlian street artist Paul Curtis to complete the piece at their home in Draymans Way after being impressed by his work in Merseyside.

The mural took almost three days to finish after Mr Curtis, 44, arrived in Suffolk on Monday and went for a walk around Portman Road to get a feel for the club's history – including seeing Sir Bobby's statue.

Mr Miller has shared images of the finished artwork online and said he and his wife have been overwhelmed by the reception.

He said: "I'm on a football forum and I asked people who does a lot of the street art in Liverpool. 

"We found Paul and agreed on a design. I didn't think he'd be willing to come all this way, to be honest.

"We're absolutely over the moon with it. It's got amazing shading, detail and highlights.

"Everyone's been telling us how good it is, but we didn't do this for likes on social media.

"Me and Debbie discussed who the mural should be of, and we thought 'who else could it be?

"Bobby has given us so much outside of family life."

Mr Curtis added: "Ivan approached me in January and we spoke back and forth about which image would work best. It is made up of different images, so it's unique.

"I was more than happy to come down. Bobby Robson is held in such high regard among football fans."
