Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock on one thing that winds him up – and it involves Ian Wright

Football hardman Neil Ruddock has moaned that despite his famous nickname, he never gets offered jobs by a razor company.

The former Spurs and Liverpool ace has been overlooked despite being dubbed Razor for his no-nonsense style on the pitch.

Instead, companies like Gillette have used Arsenal ace Raheem Sterling and ex-Gunner Ian Wright.

Ruddock, 56, grumbled: “There is one thing you’d think being called Razor would have brought me.

“To this day I’ve never been sponsored by a razor company.

He says he will always be known as Razor to people

“Ian Wright’s there shaving his face in front of the nation and I’ve had nothing. Winds me up.

“Razor manufacturers, I don’t care what bit of me I have to shave – beard, back or bikini line – give me a call.”

In his new book Toxic, the Harry’s Heroes star said the lack of telly ad jobs doesn’t stop him getting collared by punters.

He added: “While I’m not quite as clean-shaven as I might be, I definitely do still get recognised.

“I’ll always be Razor to most people, and I’m happy with them calling me that.

“I’ve had people bellowing ‘Razor!’ at me for years – blokes trying to shake my hand while I’m stood at the urinal – and it ain’t going to stop now.

“I’m like a magnet. If I’m in a restaurant full of celebrities and someone walks in off the street, you can bet your life they’ll ignore everyone else and come straight over to me – ‘Razor!’ – because they see me as approachable, which I am.

“So long as no-one tries to nick my naan bread, I’m fine.

“By the way, I’m the exact opposite. If ever I see someone famous when I’m out and about I never go over – I’m too worried they won’t know who the hell I am.

“I couldn’t deal with the embarrassment.”
