I was a mascot on the pitch for the 1995 coca cola Cup final at the old Wembley. Liverpool vs Bolton final, I was only about 10, i couldn't believe I was standing on Wembley next to Ian rush,John Barnes, Robbie Fowler, Steve Mcmanaman but Neil made it a extra special day for me as he lifted me up over his head as i walked past him. As a ten year old football lover that was a big thing for me!

@craig1669 10 ай бұрын

One of the most humble and down to earth people you could wish to meet. Even as a united fan, its great to see him looking so well. Last time i saw him he was twice the size and looking quite down, yet still had a smile on his face and happy to take pics with fans and selfie hunters. He'd always have time for anybody and never put his troubles on others. A true gentleman. Id love to see him get a regular gig on soccer Saturday or talksport or something big. Hes entertaining, has stories we havent heard before, and with all the money in football these days, itd be nice to see players like him see a bit of that cash coming their way and build their lives back up. Good luck razor! Keep up the hard work and be lucky!

Razor loved hearing u today and loved watching u play. I was best player at school, primary was in school team at 7. Best player in comp school but followed my older bro everywhere and pool n football was pub pub pub. Was almost alcoholic at 16 when in the army and played for them. Left army and played pool n footy for teams bro played for and was picked up drunk off friends floor's by brother match day mornings. Dario O'Grady asked me come for trials and guess what. My bro was over the moon but i went on a bender and forgot to turn up. Glad to say after drink ruined life, marriage and many more things I'm now 14yrs sober and my 2 daughter's have just made me a Grandad to a boy and a girl. I always think what could have been then think grandkids and remember my miserable run life has now blessed me and i don't look back anymore just forward. Razor you're a top bloke. Thanks for the memories watching u at Liverpool

Remember him arriving from Millwall during Terry Venables era and became the best Defender in Premiership. Venables promised him in those days £7000 per week but Alan Sugar had no choice but sacking Venables because of Financial Irregularities Case against Spurs, he found £7000 a week Extortionate amount for a guy kicking a ball for 90 minutes (just like calling Zola, Carlos kickaball) And Sold him to Liverpool for £2.9 million.He went from stregth to strength forming a great partnership with Mark Wright playing for England. His Gaol against Man Utd when he didnt even know he scored after receiving a knock on his head was actually brave as well as hilarious..This guy was tough he would stick his head to any boot coming towards him. Thats how players used to be, never pampered, not cocky, just good honest genuine people..Nice to see Ruddock in an interview.

The man's a legend and I missed a night out clubbing in London with him, John Barnes, Robbie Fowler and a few of the Liverpool players after a match at Selhurst Park in the 90's, because I did not have enough money on me. My colleagues went and the footballers paid for the lot, even cabs home! 🙄😢

Great interview with Razor. Legend. Your bitterness is shining through again, Rory. Werner was 'good enough' for Chelsea, he won you a Champions League. He isn't a patch regarding ability compared to Shevchenko, Torres, Eto, Salah and the rest but his Chelsea numbers are better. Chelsea is just a graveyard for the vast majority of strikers. They probability would've ruined Shearer in his pomp too. Apart from Drogba, it's hard to find great strikers that played at the club since Zola and Vialli.

Razor speaks sense on the Kane topic on multiple points. If he moves his family now, he has to think about a longer term move than if he and his family were younger or he risks disrupting his kids' schooling. Then, on the topic of winning things. When the media compare his career to others after he retires, if he doesn't win team honors, they'll point it out. The fans, however, will remember him breaking the England record, breaking the Spurs record and if he stays in England, breaking the Premier League record. For them, it won't come with a caveat of whether he won the league or not. In fact - if he can break all those records without winning anything - that will elevate him to a god-like status after he retires with the fans. They'll speak about how a guy who played the majority of his career in a team who didn't compete for any major honors still managed to break all the records - and the discussion would be about how good he would have made this team or that team. They'll never forget the guy. If he moves to Germany, even if he comes back and wins something, there will be a little gloss taken off that legend/god-like status he'd get by staying.
