Early Life

Sergio Ramos was born into a well to do family in Spain. He is one of three children born to Jose María Ramos and Parqui Ramos. Ramos grew up in a city, where Bullfighting was greatly adored, Seville. He soon absorbed the love of Bullfighting common in Seville, and at a tender age, unlike most footballers who begin training in football, Ramos’s eyes were set on becoming a bullfighter. Ramos envisioned a career in Bullfighting, but his parents were not in support of this, due to the risks involved in the sports. But Ramos seemed not to be concerned by that.

With the persuasion of his elder brother, Ramos decided to try out football. On seeing they’re so eager for him to try out a sport other than Bullfighting, his parents gave him their support for football. His parents hired a personal trainer for Ramos. This did a lot in helping Ramos discover his hidden talents.  Ramos then went on to join a local football club, FC Camas. Ramos performed excellently at Camas, earning several individual awards, thanks to his football prowess. Soon the exceptional player antics came across the radar of Sevilla scouts, and he was signed to the club.
