Career & Clubs
Born in Nantes, Loire-Atlantique, Ramé started playing professionally with SCO Angers, making his Ligue 1 debut in 1993–94 but being immediately relegated. Two years later the Maine-et-Loire club dropped down another division, but the player returned to the top flight the following season, signing for FC Girondins de Bordeaux. After 23 appearances in his debut campaign, helping his team finish fifth and reach the domestic League Cup final the following year, Ramé became Bordeaux's undisputed first-choice. He helped the side win two national championships – separated by ten years – and three more league cups. In the 2009–10 campaign, after Cédric Carrasso's signing, 37-year-old Ramé became the backup. In June 2011, after 520 matches played with the Girondins all competitions comprised, he returned to Ligue 2 and joined CS Sedan Ardennes.
Ramé made his debut for France on 9 June 1999, in a UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying 1–0 win in Andorra. He was subsequently picked for the final stages' squad, with the national team winning the tournament; after Bernard Lama's international retirement, he became second-choice. Ramé played three matches at the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup, with France again emerging victorious. Again as a backup, he represented the nation in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, also in South Korea; after making a blunder against Czech Republic on 12 February 2003, however, he fell out of favor with manager Jacques Santini and was not recalled again.
