Sir Alf Ramsey

One of this country’s greatest footballing legends, few have a legacy
comparable to Sir Alf Ramsey. As a footballer, he played for
Southampton, Tottenham Hotspurs, and England before managing the
likes of the England national team during its victorious 1966 World Cup
win, Birmingham City, and of course Ipswich Town.

Following his retirement as a manager, Ramsey continued to live in
Ipswich until 1999 when he passed away at the age of 79. His funeral
was held in St. Mary-le-Tower Church in Ipswich, before he was
cremated and interred at Old Ipswich Cemetery.
