Early Life and Playing Career
Ramsey was born in Dagenham, Essex. Dagenham is a suburban town in east London, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, situated east of Charing Cross. Essex is a county in the East of England. The County town is Chelmsford, and the highest point of the county is Chrishall Common Having been a gifted amateur as a pupil and as a player for his army regiment, he played for Portsmouth in the London War League in 1942 before moving to Southampton from 1943 to 1949 (since 1944 as a professional), and Tottenham Hotspur after that. Portsmouth Football Club is an English football club based in the south coast city of Portsmouth. Southampton Football Club is a professional English football team, nicknamed The Saints and based in the city of Southampton. Tottenham Hotspur, ˈtɒʔnəm is an English professional football club which currently plays in the Premier League. He was very successful with Spurs, playing as a right-back in more than 250 cup and league games, and in 1948 made his England debut against Switzerland; he went on to captain his country three times. The Swiss national football team (also known as the Schweizer Nati in German La Nati in French is the national football team of Switzerland His last game for England was the 6-3 defeat by Hungary in November 1953, in which he scored a penalty. The Hungary national football team represents Hungary in international football and is controlled by the Hungarian Football Federation. A penalty kick is a type of free kick in Association football, taken from twelve yards (approximately eleven metres out from goal and with only the goalkeeper of As a player Ramsey was considered slow: but had excellent positional sense, read the game better than most, had awareness, strength, and excellent distribution for a defender. In Association football (soccer a defender is a player who tries to prevent the other team from scoring He was also a specialist penalty kick taker; his coolness and ability to anticipate the goalkeeper earning him the nickname, The General.
Ipswich Manager
He retired from playing in 1955 to become manager of Ipswich Town. PLEASE NOTE This section is the introduction Please do not add too much detail here He guided the Suffolk-based side to third place in the Third Division South in his debut season, the side scoring 106 goals in the 46 league fixtures. The Football League Third Division South was a level of English professional football which ran in parallel to Third Division North from 1921 to 1958 Ramseys' second season in charge led to the division title, Ipswichs' second at that level, and promotion to the Second Division. From 1892 until 1992 the Football League Second Division was the second highest division overall in English football.
The Suffolk-based side established themselves at the Second Division level for the following three seasons with mid-table finishes. Ramsey also managed his side to moderate success in the FA Cup, reaching the Fifth Round in the 1958-59 season. The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after After three seasons of mid-table finishes, the fourth brought further success to Portman Road as Ramsey guided the Tractor Boys to the Second Division title and into the top flight for the first time in the clubs history. Portman Road is an Association football Stadium in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. The Football League First Division was the highest division of The Football League between 1993 and 2004 and the highest division of English football overall between
Ramseys' Ipswich achieved unprecedented success the following season as he led his side to the Championship in their debut season at the top level. The side had been tipped by virtually all contemporary football pundits and journalists for relegation at the start of the season, making the achievement arguably one of the most remarkable in the history of the League.
Alf Ramsey's tactical astuteness, working with a squad of solid but not outstanding players, baffled and astonished the illustrious football clubs against whom Ipswich were playing. Ramsey had found the style he would take to the England job the following April; choosing players to fit his system on the pitch. He left Ipswich Town in April 1963 having guided them from the Third Division South to the very top of English football.
England Manager
He was appointed England manager in 1963 and immediately caused a stir when he predicted that England would win the next World Cup, which was to be held in England in 1966. This was a bold statement to make, as England's performance on the international stage had been poor up to that point. The World Cup started in 1930: but England refused to participate until 1950, when they suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the U. S. A. When Ramsey took over, he demanded complete control over squad selections. Before Ramsey, Walter Winterbottom had been manager, but selections and other decisions were often carried out by board committees and so forth. Sir Walter Winterbottom, CBE ( 31 January 1913 in Oldham, England &ndash 16 February 2002) was manager of the When Ramsey took over all of these duties, it led to him being referred to as 'England's first proper manager'.
Ramsey was a firm but fair manager and was often regarded as difficult by the press. He ran a strict regime with his players and made sure that no-one felt that they enjoyed special status, star player or not. In May 1964, after a number of players failed to show up for a meeting in a hotel about a forthcoming tour, amongst them Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton, they eventually returned to their rooms to discover their passports left on their beds. James Peter 'Jimmy' Greaves (born 20 February, 1940 in East Ham, London) is a legendary English former football player Robert Frederick Chelsea "Bobby" Moore, OBE (12 April 1941 - 24 February 1993 was an English footballer. Sir Robert "Bobby" Charlton, CBE (born 11 October 1937 in Ashington, Northumberland) is a former English Professional His strict regime didn't suit everyone but the players with real talent and respect for the game responded well to them and had great respect for Ramsey. Very few of those who played for Ramsey spoke ill of him. In the preparations for the 1966 World Cup, Ramsey made sure that no player was confident of a place in the final 22, which resulted in players performing at their highest level. His decision to appoint a young Bobby Moore as captain also showed Ramsey's ability to see great potential in young players. Another one of his abilities was as a master tactician: a quality that he had first shown with his reading of the game as a player. When it came to tactics, Ramsey had revolutionary ideas.
Tactics
During his time at Ipswich, Ramsey began experimenting with a new style of play that would eventually lead to success in the World Cup and led to his England team being styled, "The Wingless Wonders". As natural wingers were not always known for their defensive qualities, Ramsey started dropping them in favour of attacking midfielders who could also drop back strong in defensive roles. This system proved revolutionary as it often baffled opposing fullbacks, who would naturally expect to see a winger coming down the flank at them once the ball was kicked off: instead, the attacking midfielders and strikers were taking the ball through the middle of the defence and scoring. This style of play proved successful at Ipswich, but really showed its worth when England traveled to Spain to play a friendly with them before the World Cup. As Bobby Charlton remarked, "The Spanish fullbacks were just looking at each other while we were going in droves through the middle". Sir Robert "Bobby" Charlton, CBE (born 11 October 1937 in Ashington, Northumberland) is a former English Professional To go to Spain and win easily was a rare achievement for England, and clear evidence that Ramsey's techniques were working.
The 1966 World Cup
With his final squad chosen, Ramsey set about winning the World Cup for England. The first group game was against Uruguay and despite an array of attacking talent upfront including Jimmy Greaves and Roger Hunt, England were held to a 0-0 draw. James Peter 'Jimmy' Greaves (born 20 February, 1940 in East Ham, London) is a legendary English former football player Roger Hunt MBE (born 20 July 1938 in Golborne, Lancashire) is an English former footballer whose predatory instincts Ramsey's statement made three years earlier was looking in doubt now: but he remained calm and still experimenting when his side faced Mexico in the next game. Ramsey was using the 4-3-3 system and for each of the group games used a winger, John Connelly against Uruguay, Terry Paine against Mexico and Ian Callaghan against France. In Association football, the formation describes how the players in a team are positioned on the pitch. John Michael Connelly (born July 18, 1938 in St Helens) is an English former football player. Terence Lionel Paine MBE (born 23 March 1939 in Winchester) was an English footballer Ian Robert Callaghan MBE (born 10 April, 1942 in Toxteth, Liverpool) holds the record for the most appearances for Liverpool.
Ramsey dropped Alan Ball and John Connelly and brought in Martin Peters, whose advanced style of play as a midfielder matched just the qualities Ramsey looked for in his system, and Terry Paine. Alan James Ball Jr, MBE (12 May 1945 &ndash 25 April 2007 was an English professional footballer and football club manager Martin Stanford Peters MBE, (born 8 November 1943 in Plaistow, London) was a football player and member of the victorious England beat Mexico 2-0 and faced France in their last group match. England went on to beat France 2-0 with Ian Callaghan replacing Terry Paine securing qualification to the knockout rounds. Two difficult situations arose from the final group match, however. After making a vicious tackle and being cautioned, midfielder Nobby Stiles came under flack from the top FIFA officials, who called for Ramsey to drop him from the side. Norbert "Nobby" Peter Stiles MBE (born Collyhurst, Manchester, 18 May 1942 is an English former football Midfielder. Ramsey was having none of it, and firmly told the FA to inform FIFA that either Stiles would remain in his team or Ramsey himself would resign. Another bad tackle was committed during that match, resulting in Tottenham striker (and one of England's most prolific goal-scorers) Jimmy Greaves being injured and sidelined for the next few matches. Despite having more experienced strikers in his side, Ramsey selected young Geoff Hurst as Greaves's replacement, once again seeing potential in the young West Ham forward. Sir Geoffrey Charles Hurst, MBE (born 8 December 1941 in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire) is a former footballer of The France match also marked Ramsey's final game with a winger. After it, he dropped Ian Callaghan from his side and brought back Alan Ball to strengthen the midfield.
For the knockout stages, England's first opponents were a notoriously rough Argentina side. Ramsey once again showed his tactical awareness, and, now he was no longer using wingers, he decided to switch from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2. With Ball and Peters operating on the flanks, the midfield now boasted Nobby Stiles and Bobby Charlton in the centre. After a violent quarter-final (where the Argentine captain Antonio Rattin refused to leave the field after being sent off), England scraped a 1-0 win thanks to Geoff Hurst latching onto a beautiful cross from Martin Peters and heading home a goal. Antonio Ubaldo Rattín (born May 16, 1937 in Tigre, Buenos Aires Province) is a former Argentine football player best Ramsey came under flack when he stopped his players swapping shirts with the Argentinians in protest at their dirty play and was then misquoted as describing the Argentinians as "animals".
In the semi-final, England faced a fluent and skillful Portuguese side containing the tournament’s top goal-scorer Eusébio. Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, GCIH, GCM ( pron eu'zɛbiʊ dɐ 'siɫvɐ fɨ'ʁɐiɾɐ (born January 25, 1942 in However, England won a 2-1 victory in a memorable match which saw them concede their first goal of the competition from the penalty spot. Ramsey had found the perfect defensive formula that went unchanged throughout the entire tournament.
On the 30 July 1966 Ramsey's promise was fulfilled as England became the World Champions by beating West Germany in a thrilling final. Events 1419 - First Defenestration of Prague. 1502 - Christopher Columbus lands at Guanaja in the Bay Islands off Year 1966 ( MCMLXVI) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the 1966 Gregorian calendar. The 1966 FIFA World Cup Final was the final match in the 1966 World Cup, contested by England and A lot of Ramsey's tactics and decisions proved their worth in this final. Ramsey came under pressure to restore the fit-again Jimmy Greaves to the side: but he stuck to his guns and kept faith with Greaves's replacement, Geoff Hurst, who was to thoroughly vindicate Ramsey's judgement by scoring a hat-trick in a 4-2 win (after extra time) at Wembley. Sir Geoffrey Charles Hurst, MBE (born 8 December 1941 in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire) is a former footballer of Filling his side with a good balance of experience and youth proved vital when the gruelling final went to extra time. The youth in the team powered England through extra time. A particular example of this was Alan Ball who, at 21, was the youngest player in the England side. Alan James Ball Jr, MBE (12 May 1945 &ndash 25 April 2007 was an English professional footballer and football club manager Even in extra time, he never showed signs of tiredness and never stopped running - famously setting up Hurst's controversial second goal, as well as having a few chances himself. Even as the match ended with Geoff Hurst scoring England’s fourth goal, Ball was still running down the pitch in case Hurst needed assistance. Rather than a cross from Hurst, Ball was greeted by a number of England fans running onto the pitch who, thinking that the game was already over, had already started celebrating England's victory.
Ramsey remained his usual self during the celebrations: not joining in, but rather opting to let his players soak up their achievement. With his boldly-made promise now fulfilled, Ramsey had proved that the 4-4-2 system could work and had assembled an England team that could compete on the highest level due to physical fitness and good tactics. He remains exemplary as to this day and is the only England manager ever to have won the World Cup.
1966-1970
Despite famously losing to Scotland 3-2 at home in the qualifying competition, England still qualified for the 1968 European Championship, only to lose out in a 1-0 defeat by Yugoslavia in the semi-finals. The Scotland national football team represents Scotland in international football and is controlled by the Scottish Football Association. The Yugoslavia national football team refers to the national football team that represented the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1920-1941 and the Socialist Federal Republic England had to settle for third place after beating the Soviet Union. The USSR national football team was the national football team of the Soviet Union.
1970-1974
The fortunes of Ramsey's England declined in the 1970s. They entered the 1970 World Cup as one of the favourites and many people thought their squad superior to that of 1966, but having qualified for the later stages after a memorable match against Brazil when Gordon Banks made his famous save from Pele's header, they lost to the Germans 3-2 in the quarter-finals, after having been in the lead 2-0 with only twenty minutes remaining. The blame was put partly on Sir Alf's cautious tactics and partly on the stand-in goalkeeper, Chelsea's Peter Bonetti. In many team Sports a goalkeeper (termed goaltender netminder, goalie, or keeper in some sports Peter Phillip Bonetti (born 27 September 1941 in Putney, London of Swiss parents from Canton Ticino) was a football
The early 70s saw failure in the 1972 European Championships (again to the Germans), and in a heartbreaking world cup qualifier against Poland at Wembley in October 1973, England failed to qualify for the World Cup. The 1974 FIFA World Cup, the tenth staging of the World Cup was held in West Germany from June 13 to July 7. Again while Ramsey's tactics were partly to blame (his inappropriate, mistimed substitutions, for example), England had also been spectacularly denied a win over that would have secured their place by a mixture of poor finishing and incredible goalkeeping from Poland's Jan Tomaszewski. Jan Tomaszewski (born January 9, 1948) is a retired Polish footballer who was Nicknamed "Tomek" the "Clown" A few months later, Sir Alf was sacked by the FA, many of whose officials had long held a grudge against England's finest ever manager.

Legacy
Ramsey was made an inaugural inductee of the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his impact on the English game as a manager. The Hall of Fame is housed at The National Football Museum in Preston, England.

Ipswich ( ˈɪpswɪtʃ is a Non-metropolitan district and the County town of Suffolk, England on the Estuary of the River Orwell In 2000, a statue of Ramsey was erected on the corner of the street named after him and Portman Road, at the North Stand/Cobbold Stand corner of the stadium. The statue was commissioned by the Ipswich Town Supporters' Club after an initial idea by local fan Seán Salter. Lady Ramsey continues to live (2007) in Suffolk. Suffolk (ˈsʌfək is a non-metropolitan county of historic origin in East Anglia, England. [1].
Personality
Ramsey often came across as an "aloof" and "proud" figure who talked what was once described as "sergeant-major posh" despite coming from a working-class background (during Euro 96, much was made in the English media of the difference between his accent and the unabashed Cockney tones of Terry Venables, his successor who also came from Dagenham, and what this said about social changes in England). The 1996 UEFA European Football Championship ( Euro 96) was hosted by England. The term Cockney has both geographical and linguistic associations Terence Frederick 'Terry' Venables (born 6 January 1943 in Dagenham, London often referred to as ' El Tel', is an English football manager Dagenham is a suburban town in east London, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, situated east of Charing Cross. In spite of the airs that he gave himself, he allowed his players to address him as "Alf", which is unusual for managers even today. He had a particular dislike of the media and of anything that he saw as bad manners. He often trained his side hard, a practice which paid off when England were able to battle on despite the heat in their World Cup 1966 Final against West Germany. He seemed to have felt nothing but disgust for his successors. At Ipswich, after he left for the England job, he refused to give Jackie Milburn any advice in his managerial career. John Edward Thompson 'Jackie' Milburn, ( 11 May 1924 &ndash 9 October 1988) also known to fans as Wor Jackie and 'the first World Milburn was sacked after nine months, following Ipswich's relegation from the top flight. Neither did Ramsey get on with Sir Bobby Robson, who some say did a better job than Ramsey as manager of Ipswich. Sir Robert William Robson Kt CBE (born 18 February 1933 commonly known as Sir Bobby Robson (ˈbɒbi ˈrɒbsən is a former international football Not only did Robson guide Ipswich to the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup, and a high place in the League, he also got England to the semi-finals of the 1990 World Cup. The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after The UEFA Cup is a football competition for European club teams organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA. Many thought that Ramsey's attitude to Robson was evidence of jealousy - even though Robson failed to match his achievements in winning the English championship with Ipswich and the World Cup with England. Members of Ramsey's family have suggested that he was liable to take a negative view of anyone who took over one of his jobs. Shortly before he died, however, Ramsey passed on his thanks to Sir Bobby through Bobby's wife after the Robsons paid for his bills in his nursing home. Sir Bobby later declared that Alf was the greatest British football manager ever.
