Neil 'Razor' Ruddock
Hi,
Have just booked Neil Ruddock as an after dinner speaker for an Old Boys dinner (St Joseph's College, Beulah Hill) to be held on Saturday 24th March 2007. Heard he is a great speaker but wanted to get some stories from his time at the Palace that the great and the good on here may have up their sleeve. Any amusing or interesting stories welcome! |

He was well passed it fat, and much, much more interested in himself than Palace. He didnt play in the friendly at Millwall ( just after he signed) as Palace didnt have shorts big enough to fit him. The incident with Marcus Bent also showed what a tosser he was.

Useless but funny. Remember one game when he was getting grief from some geezer in the corner of the main stand about being a fatty so he cracked onto the geezers mrs. Someone with a better memory that was less pissed will probably remember more.

Sorry, forgot to add for any former attendees of the college, if you are interested in attending the dinner, you are more than welcome. I'm slowly adding full details onto the newly created old boys website which is To view the link you have to Register or Login What was the Marcus Bent story?

He was having a set too with Bent that was rumbling on during the game. Fan Zhihi actually tried to finish it by pushing Ruddock out of the way and gestured he would mark Bent to avoid Ruddock being sent off. Razor was having none of it and shortly after he showed his studs to Bents chest and was sent off. Pretty sure we lost that game as well. What made it worse was that Bent was former Palace player who had once asked how Palace had got on in a post match interview for another team. Razor, I'm sure will be a good laugh etc but he werent much cop for us. Took his money and ran IMO.

Think hed be great at that kind of a gig. Big loud mouth but funny guy, remember him at a fans forum on pitch when he signed. Total drunken fat lazy idiot in his palace days I heard. Got youngsters drunk on coaches to games was a rumour and all sorts...

Managed to get to Palace v Wimbledon back in the groundsharing days (midweek, we won 2-1).
Ruddock had 'Razor' where his surname should be on his shirt. I'm looking for some Eastern European signing in the programme before the penny dropped. Fined big time for that by the FA, so I heard. Remember him being quite 'entertaining.' |

I've seen some poor professionals at Palace during the last 45 years but Ruddock is the worst of the lot. In the incident against Shef Untd I believe that he deliberately decided to have the satisfcation of kicking Bent in the full knowledge that he'd be sent off. It was a case of that useless unfit tosser deciding to put his own ego ahead of the team. And as he was walking off he arrogantly pointed out to the crowd the name on his shirt - as if we'd have any difficulty in recognising his fat arse.
The fact that he's now reduced to 'after dinner' speeches at some nondescript south London comprehensive shows that there is some justice in the world. |

Remember being told that in his autobiography he boasted that he'd never played at Christmas because he had always been suspended.
Unsuprisingly in a pre-Xmas away game at Crewe he got needlessly sent off for a daft tackle, and so was suspended for Boxing Day. Suprise suprise. He's a tosser in my opinion.

Apparently before his first game in the dressing room they coldn't find any shorts that fitted him, so had to got to the clubshop to get him somee XXLs. They still looked like cycling shorts on him!
