The centre-half or right-back went on to make 395 starts and one sub appearance for the Blues, netting 19 times, all but a handful while wearing the captain’s armband.
Skuse, also 35, joined Town from Bristol City the following summer, also on a free transfer, and made 268 starts and 10 appearances from the bench. The pair were key members of the side which reached the Championship play-offs in 2014/15.

Supporters of Ipswich Town Football Club have said it is fantastic that Ed Sheeran is set to be the next shirt sponsor for the club.
Mark Ramsay, chairman of the Ipswich Town Football Supporters Club, said: I think it is a fantastic opportunity for both the club and indeed for Ed because between us we can become brands together. He is obviously a local boy and he supports a lot of other local causes as well and I think we as Ipswich Town supporters should endeavour to support him as much as he has supported us.
