Greenwood, Ron

Greenwood, Ron
▪ 2007
 British association football (soccer) manager (b. Nov. 11, 1921, Worsthorne, Lancashire, Eng.—d. Feb. 9, 2006, Sudbury, Suffolk, Eng.), managed West Ham United during 1961–74, a tenure that included a Football Association (FA) Cup title in 1964 and the European Cup Winners' Cup title in 1965. He was credited with developing the talents of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters, all of whom played key roles in England's 1966 World Cup championship. Greenwood played for several teams from 1940 until he became a manager, with Eastbourne United (1957–58) and then Arsenal (1958–61) before joining West Ham in 1961. He moved to the front office at West Ham in 1974, but he was named manager of England three years later. At the 1982 World Cup, he guided England to an undefeated performance despite being eliminated in the quarterfinals after two draws. Greenwood was made CBE in 1981 and was inducted into the FA Hall of Fame in 2002.
