Mills made his debut for the first team in 1966, aged just 17. Sir Bobby Robson appointed Mills as team captain in 1971 & so began a close working relationship between coach & skipper which was at the forefront of Ipswich's rise to the top of the game for a decade. In 1978 they reached the final where they beat favourites Arsenal 1–0 at Wembley. Mills, as captain, lifted the trophy
- Ipswich's first major honour for 16 years. Ipswich, meanwhile, continued to hit high spots, finishing in the top five every year between 1978 & 1982, including a memorable season in 1981 which saw them just miss out on First Division & FA Cup glory, but won the UEFA Cup, which Mills duly collected after victory over AZ 67 Alkmaar in the final. Here is a 10x 8 photo of Mick Mills, recieving the UEFA Cup trophy after Ipswich's 1981 victory.
