The club held a minute's silence and players wore black armbands, while the club announced all profits from the game would be donated to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

Ipswich came from behind to claim victory with Pim Balkestein levelling on the hour before further goals from Connor Wickham and an own goal served as a fitting tribute to Robson.

Tributes were also paid to Robson by another of his former clubs, PSV Eindhoven, before the Dutch side took on Bolton at the Jan Louwers Stadium in a match which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Kevin Davies and Tamir Cohen were on target for the visitors although Cohen's night would end in controversy as he was sent off in the final minute for a bad challenge.

West Ham's new signing Frank Nouble continued to impress with the 17-year-old grabbing two goals in a Hammers reserve side's 3-0 win at Kingstonian. Matt Fry opened the scoring for the visitors.

Notts County, who have installed former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson as their director of football, held a Liverpool XI to a 2-2 draw at Meadow Lane while Paul Gallagher hit a hat-trick as Blackburn beat Accrington Stanley 3-0 at the Crown Ground.
