Further reading

Ken Ramsden was Club Secretary at Manchester United between 2007 and 2010. He retired at the end of the 2009-2010 season.

Ken Ramsden grew up in close association with Manchester United. In the 1950s, both his mother and his aunt worked at the club. (He tells of how, after washing the kit of the Munich generation, his mother and aunt were then called upon to polish their coffins, as the club gymnasium was turned into a temporary morgue.) Ramsden began work at Old Trafford in 1960, aged just fifteen. He worked as an office junior at the direction of the then Secretary, Les Olive. He has since performed a number of club roles, including that of Assistant Secretary to his predecessor, Ken Merrett. In the late 1980s he helped compile and edit two volumes of the Manchester United Official Year Book. Among the particularly projects for which he was responsible during his time as Secretary, was the marking of the fiftieth anniversary of the Munich air-disaster.

Ramsden was followed, on his retirement, by John Alexander, previously Club Secretary at Tottenham Hotspur.
