Sergio Ramos Biography

Sergio Ramos García (born March 30, 1986) more commonly known as Sergio Ramos, is a Spanish international footballer, who usually plays as a defender. A native of Camas, Seville, Ramos is a graduate of the Sevilla FC youth system.

Ramos began his career as a well-regarded right-side defender, a position he was able to keep for the majority of his early career. After two years of experience in La Liga he became known for his ability to play competently in any defensive position. He is also known for his perseverance, powerful shots, crosses, long ball passes and heading ability. Seville received many offers for Ramos, but it was Real Madrid who would eventually sign him.

Real Madrid
Real Madrid signed Ramos for 27 million Euro in the summer of 2005, making him the second most expensive teenager (behind Wayne Rooney), and the most expensive domestic signing in La Liga. He usually plays at the centre of defence for Real, but has been used as a defensive midfielder in a few occasions. At Real he wears the Number 4 shirt, the same number previously occupied by Fernando Hierro. Ramos scored his first ever Champions League goal for Real Madrid against Olympiakos, a game which Real eventually lost 2-1.

National team
In 2004 Sergio Ramos became one of the key figures in the Under-21s, playing six international matches and acquiring experience and interest from other clubs. In Salamanca, against China, he played for the senior side at only nineteen years of age, making him the youngest player to play for the national team in the last fifty-five years. He held this record until it was broken by Arsenal's Cesc Fábregas (born 04 May 1987).

He impressed on his debut (March 26, 2005, vs China) and was awarded a place on the team which would challenge Serbia and Montenegro in an important qualification match for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Because of the absence of fellow Madrid player Míchel Salgado he was part of the starting eleven.

Ramos was announced as part of the Spain World Cup Squad on May 15 2006.

Family Information
Sergio's parents are named Jose María and Paqui. He has an older brother, Rene, who acts as his agent, and a sister, Miriam. According to an interview with El Pais (Oct. '06), Sergio is currently single. He says that his mother is the most important woman in his life, and that his family and friends are what’s most important in his life.

When Sergio was younger, it was his brother Rene who was the football-mad member of the family and who encouraged Sergio to join his first club, FC Camas.

Sergio also has a tiny sized dog, named Odi. Sergio, Rene and Odi appeared on a Spanish animal show called, PELOPICOPATA, when the Ramos brothers accompanied Odi to the veterinarian for an x-ray on one of his paws.

Sergio dedicated his goal in Real Madrid's game against Steaua Bucharest (17.10.06) to his brother Rene, who had just learned he was about to be a father.
