Street sign at Sir Alf Ramsey Way, Portman Road, home ground of Ipswich Town Football Club. This street runs next to the North (or Bobby Robson) Stand at the club's ground and a statue of him was also erected on the corner of Sir Alf Ramsey Way and Portman Road in 2000. Ramsey managed Ipswich from 1955 to 1963 winning promotion to the First Division in 1959-60 and immediately followed this in 1960-61 by the extraordinary feat of winning the First Division League Championship in the club's debut season. This success for the small Suffolk Club meant Ramsey was given the ultimate job of managing the England team (a feat later emulated by Bobby Robson), which he did from 1963 to 1974. He guided the team in 1966 to the one and only winning of the World Cup at Wembley when England beat West Germany 4 goals to 2 to win the Jules Rimet Trophy. Prior to his managerial career Ramsey was also a good player, with his club teams including Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth. He also won 32 caps for England. Alfred Ernest Ramsey retired from thew sport to live in Ipswich.
