A bundle of papers belonging to the manager of England's 1966 World Cup-winning team found hidden in an old suitcase has sold for £17,064.

Handwritten plans from Sir Alf Ramsey, photographs of former captain Bobby Moore and scouting reports from former Manchester United boss Sir Matt Busby were featured in the lot at Diss Auction Rooms in Norfolk.

The documents were given to Sir Alf's former neighbour and friend, who he lived alongside during his spell as Ipswich Town manager between 1955 and 1963.

Auctioneer Elizabeth Talbot said: "It could have made less, it could have made a lot more, but how does one value a piece of important history like that":[]}
