Ipswich's boss McKenna turns up to help with council's victory parade clear-up

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has reportedly turned out to help the local council clear up piles of litter which had been left behind on the town's streets after supporters turned out to celebrate their side's promotion to the Premier League.

Jubilant scenes erupted at Portman Road on Saturday after McKenna's side claimed a 2-0 victory against Huddersfield to cement their standing in second-place in the Championship and book their place in English football's top-flight after a 22-year absence.

Ipswich's heros took to the streets on Bank Holiday Monday to celebrate their achievement in style, as thousands of fans flocked to cheer on the Tractor Boys on a boozy open-top bus parade.

Footage emerged showing that supporters had left behind empty beer bottles, boxes and plastic bags throughout the town. Council bosses had urged fans to enjoy the moment though, stating: 'Keep the memories, we'll handle the mess.'

Following the celebrations, McKenna has now been hailed for also helping with the clean up operations. One Ipswich fan posted a selfie with the Northern Irish mananger on social media during the clean up, praising the 37-year-old for turning out to help the volunteers.

'Amazing that super Kieran McKenna came and gave us a hand tidying up after the weekend!' the supporter wrote adding a 'winking face emoji'.

'He is truly a legend,' the fan added.

Another supporter wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Now that's a manager a team. Should be proud off!

'Too many football managers just care about figures and fame.

'Ours ain't even from Ipswich but he's out looking after the town who's football club he manages. Serious respect for Kieran Mckenna!'
