Synopsis
Neil "Razor" Ruddock has had a chequered career since he left 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 a reputation as a tough defender and a player not 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's departure meant his days at the club were numbered. In 1993, Graeme Souness persuaded him north to join Liverpool. However, in the summer of 1998 his flagging career received a massive boost when he signed for West Ham, where he now finds himself in partnership with the likes of Ian Wright and Rio Ferdinand. This is his story.

Customer Reviews

A great insight into the life of the football hard man!!!
This book is on a par the the likes of Tony adams "addicted" but this biography is a lot more humerous some of the stories will have you splitting your sides and thinking how on gods earth did this guy become a top class player and win caps for his country? Discover how Alan shearers career nearly came to a premature end with the hardmans drunken antics on a pre season tour with southampton fc and what ex spurs boss David pleat thought of Neil which had Pleat eating hs words by the end of this excellent read. Anyone will enjoy this book not just the Ruddock fans of the world go on give it a go you'll be surprised and you wont stop laughing.

Don't Mess With The Ruddocks
Love him, or loathe him, there can be no denying that Neil "Razor" Ruddock has not been one of the most intresting footballers of the last ten years. His always gives 101%, and as we know, sometimes this gets him in a little bit of bother. In his book, you clearly see where he gets his short temper from, btt you will also learn about his love for his family, his sense of humour, and overall, his love for the game of football. This book is worth every penny, if not just for the commment, "me, threatning behaviour, how absurd!"

Not bad, could have been better
I didn't realise when I bought this recently, that it was written when Razor was still playing for West Ham, so you don't really get to know about the "stuff" that went on that isn't already in the public domain. Not a bad read though, but don't expect him to dish the dirt on anyone because he doesn't.
