# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Unseen Sir Alf: A Different Kind of Hero
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 11:00 am – Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Sir Alf Ramsey became a national hero when he managed the England’s men’s football team to win the World Cup in 1966. He was a Suffolk hero too, thanks to his transformational triple league-winning leadership of Ipswich Town from 1955-1963. 

Dr Grant Bage’s new book, The Unseen Sir Alf, is a radical retelling of Sir Alf’s life story. It shows how this shy, enigmatic character overcame multiple barriers to conquer the football world. 

This Ipswich Town Heritage Society sponsored talk will examine Sir Alf’s time in Suffolk and his family’s rural East Anglian background. It will celebrate how Suffolk Archives played a crucial role in researching the book and argue that the history of football has an important part to play in shaping local and national identities.

This talk is followed by a book signing event.
