| Has had a remarkable footballing career since leaving school
at 16 to sign for his local club, Millwall, where he came under the tutelage
of George Graham and was a team mate of Teddy
Sheringham. Two years later he got his big break at Southampton, refining his reputation as a tough defender and a player not to be messed with. Spurs boss Terry Venables paid £2 million to bring Ruddock to White Hart Lane, but a bust-up with Alan Sugar after Venables' departure meant his days at the club were numbered. In 1993, Graeme Souness persuaded him to join Liverpool. However, in the summer of 1998 his flagging career received a massive boost when he signed for West Ham, where he found himself in partnership with the likes of Ian Wright and Rio Ferdinand. He later went on to be coach at Swindon Town, where his commitment and passion made him a crowd favourite. He only won a single cap for England, playing in a friendly against Nigeria in 1994. He also had four caps for the England Under-21 squad and one for the England B team. After football, he became a household name, appearing on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Razor also helps talented young footballers who have been released from Academies with his 'Pass & Move Soccer School'. Known not only for his passion, but also his personal demons, Razor’s battle with booze and gambling was chronicled in his autobiography ‘Hell Razor’. With so much experience and self-improvement behind him, Neil seems the ideal candidate to help turn these troubled footie fans around. |
