Description: | Eton Manor Boys' Club was founded in 1909 by a group of Old Etonians for the boys living in the impoverished area of Hackney Wick. It was renowned for the quality and variety of the facilities it offered in the areas of sport, art, amateur dramatics, music, and other activities. Alan Sims (b 1939) joined the club in 1954 at the age of 14. Here, in conversation with Stefan Dickers of Bishopsgate Institute, he speaks of the period of time when the club's football team was coached by Alf Ramsey, a player at that time for Tottenham Hotspur. Ramsey went on to coach Ipswich Town and Birmingham City and coached England when they won the World Cup in 1966. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Leisure Sport | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
