Because he wasn't a homophobe. Better than that, he was an ally.
“It was back in 2019 when, by chance, I unearthed an intriguing secret. On the very day Alf Ramsey was appointed manager, in August 1955, the Ipswich Town board discussed what to do about a promising young player in danger of being prosecuted for homosexual behaviour."
“During the next 12 months Alf Ramsey would save this player’s career and he, in return, became pivotal to Alf winning three different league titles. That story, like many others in Alf’s life, has never been told. The deeper I dug, the more I realised Alf’s whole biography needed a rewrite.
“Alf delivered, decades ahead of countless other managers, what human rights campaigners have always requested – equal opportunity, unclouded by prejudice around characteristics irrelevant to a profession’s performance.”

To be honest I find this absolutely disgusting.
I've never seen 92_Laces downvote anyone else before. I thought he was my own personal stalker and that we had something special. I feel used. |  |
