Things are tough if you are an Ipswich Town supporter right now.

The Tractor Boys' play-off hopes look doubtful despite being only three points off sixth, with most of the teams above them in having games in hand.

Paul Cook has been unable to make an impact since joining the club, with his side winning only one of their last five games following a goalless draw at Rochdale on Monday.

In the Championship, their arch rivals Norwich City are on course to return to the Premier League, and could even be promoted if results go their way this weekend.

Ipswich will hope to have a positive season next year, as they look to bridge the gap and climb back up the leagues.

Over the years, the club have had made plenty of exciting signings, and here, we take a look at the best 10 foreign players to represent the Tractor Boys...

92-time Trinidad and Tobago international Carlos Edwards kicks off our list.

The winger, who was born in Diego Martin, joined Ipswich from Sunderland after having a two-year spell at the Stadium of Light.

Edwards went on to spend five years at Portman Road, captaining the club between 2012 and 2014 and amassing 176 appearances in total.

He was named as the Player's Player of the Year in 2011/12.

He later joined Millwall in 2014, before having spells with Ma Pau Stars, Central FC, Woolbridge Town and Bury Town.

de Vos was born in Canada and joined Ipswich from Wigan after having spells with Darlington and Dundee.

After Jim Magilton was made manager, de Vos was made captain of the club upon his arrival at Portman Road.

He was awarded the club's Player's Player of the Year in 2005/06 after a series of impressive performances, and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2019.

He ended his career in 2008 having racked up 171 league appearances for the Tractor Boys, scoring 10 goals and proving to be an integral player in the heart of defence.

Zondervan joined Ipswich from West Bromwich Albion for around £70,000 in 1984.

Zondervan spent eight years at Portman Road, and he won the Player of the Year award in 1987, before captaining the club in 1988 and 1989.

His last season at Ipswich saw him win promotion with the club in 1992/93, before he returned to the Netherlands to spend three years with NAC Breda.

After retiring from the game, he spent time scouting in Europe for George Burley and was influential in scouting the next player on our list...

Wilnis joined Ipswich from De Graafschap in 2000 and was a key part of the side under George Burley which saw them win promotion to the Premier League.

Wilnis - who scored a memorable goal against Manchester United in the first home game after Town's return to the top flight - went on to spend nine years in Suffolk.

After making nearly 300 appearances for the club, his time at Ipswich came to an end and he joined Grays Athletic in 2008.

He remained in Suffolk after retiring from the game and certainly took the club to his heart.

Martijn Reuser arrived at Ipswich initially on loan from Ajax in 2000, before impressing and earning a permanent move to Portman Road.

He scored a fabulous solo goal in the play-off win over Barnsley which instantly wrote him into Ipswich folklore.

His time at Ipswich was ultimately hampered by injuries, but he scored six goals in his first full season at the club.

He helped the club reach the UEFA Cup in 2000/01 after finishing fifth in the Premier League, and is undoubtedly one of the best dead-ball specialists the club has ever had.

Kuqi was actually born in Yugoslavia but played for Finland, and joined Ipswich from Sheffield Wednesday in 2003 after initially impressing on loan.

Kuqi was to make 84 appearances for Ipswich, scoring 31 goals and winning their Player of the Year award in 2004/05.

Kuqi scored 11 goals in his first season at Portman Road, and the following year, he scored 19 goals in 42 league appearances for Town in 04/05.

The striker left for Blackburn Rovers in 2005, before going on to have spells with Crystal Palace and Fulham before returning to Ipswich on loan.

He has since moved into management.

British-Canadian Yallop was a fantastic servant to Ipswich.

The 57-year-old came through the ranks at Portman Road, spending 13 years in Suffolk and racking up over 390 appearances for the club.

Ipswich won the Second Division title in 1992, and won their Player of the Year award in 1987/88.

He later moved across the pond to join Tampa Bay Mutiny, and went on to manage San Jose Earthquakes, Canada, LA Galaxy and Chicago Fire.

He is now the Sporting Director of future USL Championship side Monterey Bay FC.

Hreidarsson moved to Ipswich for £4.5million from AFC Wimbledon before the 2000/01 season, becoming their club-record signing.

The Icelandic midfielder was a key player the club, helping them finish fifth in the league table and qualify for a UEFA Cup place.

The Tractor Boys did go downhill soon after and were relegated from the top-flight, but he stayed despite concerns over finances.

He later joined Charlton Athletic, before having spells with the likes of Portsmouth and Coventry City and then returning to Iceland.

Muhren was a hugely influential player for Ipswich, helping the club win the UEFA Cup in 1981 as well as mount a push for the league title.

The Dutchman was the player who assisted Marco van Basten for his volley against the Soviet Union, which is considered to be one of the greatest volleyed goals of all time.

Muhren spent four years at Portman Road in total, making over 160 appearances for the Tractor Boys in total.

He later moved to Manchester United after scoring plenty of goals and creating plenty in a blue and white shirt, and is arguably one of the finest talents they have ever had.

Thijssen forged one of the best midfield partnerships with Arnold Muhren in the whole of English football.

The midfielder was an integral player in the 1980-81 season, when Ipswich won the UEFA Cup and fell heartbreakingly short in both the First Division and the FA Cup.

In 1981, he became the first Dutchman to be voted as the Footballer of the Year in England, after scoring a goal in each of the two legs of the UEFA Cup final.

He later joined Nottingham Forest before having spells with Vancouver Whitecaps, Fortuna Sittard, FC Groningen and Vitesse Arnhem.
