Sir Alf Ramsey 1966 World Cup reports sell at auction for £17,064

Rob Henshilwood, a books and manuscripts specialist at TW Gaze auction rooms, said the range of items reflected the “collaboration” of those who worked together to help England succeed.

“It’s so hands on… it’s a world away from modern football management where you have a whole entourage,” he said.

Among the documents were handwritten scouting reports from club managers, detailing the performance and strategies of opposing teams, hand-drawn diagrams and a training camp programme from 1966.

Documents showing how Sir Alf meticulously set out his thoughts on how his players should be treated were also included.

Ms Talbot added: “I was born in 1966 and I’ve only ever lived knowing that as a landmark in our modern history, so to have actually witnessed some of the preparation for all that… I think it’s quite magical.”
