ENGLAND boss Fabio Capello was at Wembley to unveil a bust of World Cup-winning manager Sir Alf Ramsey.
The ceremony was attended by 1966 heroes Sir Geoff Hurst, Sir Bobby Charlton, Martin Peters and George Cohen.
The sculpture, which will be displayed in the tunnel, was crafted by Philip Jackson, the artist behind iconic statues of Bobby Moore (also at Wembley) and the United Trinity outside Old Trafford.
Cohen said: "It's a tremendous sculpture and it's like he's actually in the room with you. That determined look on his face is exactly how I remember him and tells you exactly who was in charge.
"When you were in the presence of Sir Alf there was a definite sense of 'Gentleman, we're here to do business' and the sculpture really captures that feeling."
Speaking from her home in Ipswich, Lady Victoria Ramsey added: "The sculpture of Alfred looks outstanding and the unveiling at Wembley is very appropriate."
