Alfred Ringstead (14 October 1927 – 15 January 2000) was a professional footballer who played in the position of outside right for Sheffield United between 1950 and 1959. He was the son of jockey Charlie Ringstead. As a 14-year-old, Ringstead played his football for Everton junior teams where he received a wage of just three shillings and sixpence. The Merseyside club showed little interest in keeping him and he returned home without any encouragement. After serving in the Army in India, Alf returned to play for Ellesmere Port Town while working as an upholsterer.
