Neil Ruddock's Height
6ft 2 (188 cm)
'Razor' Ruddock is a former English footballer, who primarily played for Liverpool, Tottenham, Southampton and West Ham United. During his career he was regularly described 6ft 2 and weighing 180 pounds, although in 2018 he claimed "I'm six foot four". In this photo I had near 0.4 inch more sneaker than him.

I'm 6ft 2in while Robbie [Fowler] seems around 5ft 6in - it just goes to show that size doesn't matter.

Rory, that could work as well. No way was he anything less than 6ft2 in his playing days though. Probably woke up at 6ft3 on the dot.
Today is still near 6ft2

I think 6ft2.5 might be a bit of a stretch but I can see 6ft2.25 being on the money for a 90s Razor. 6ft2.25 peak and 6ft1.75 today.

Rob, I think 6ft2½ peak could be closer
Click Here strong case for Cantona being 6ft1½
Click Here making Vinnie Jones look closer to 6ft!
I'd have believed 6ft3 based on these photos. Still looks roughly 6ft2 now

Editor RobIt's not impossible, he could hold up well on the pitch with genuine big guys like Duncan Ferguson
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/May/22
He could look quite imposing on the pitch. An in-shape Razor was 200lbs solid but well-built. Classic rugged and hard defender who took occasional liberties. Had so much more potential

Huh, would think he was involved in WWE rather than footy given his size! Easy 188 cm no more no less, but probably leaves a near 2 meters impression from afar!

Wouldn't hesitate to give him 6ft2½ peak actually...his claim could've been reached in football boots, they usually give more than an inch. Generally stood out on the pitch....

330-350 I think is a bit to large for him. He is an enormous man however, naturally very thick. He is a solid 6'2" with Rob, I'd say he is 305-320.

He could pass for 6ft3 when he played for Liverpool when he was lighter. Never 180lbs, more like 195-200lbs, today he’s definitely north of 300

I think he said he was 23 stone on something and that was a few years back. I don't think he looked under 200 pounds even in his earlier playing days. He almost drank himself to death, I hope his recent heart problem helps him cut down and get into better shape. If they ever remake Good the Bad and the Ugly Razor could play the prison warden!

Rob, any chance of 6ft2½ peak?
He looked strikingly tall when he played for Liverpool.. I think he weighed more than 180lbs even in his playing days, at least 190lbs. He was rugged, hard and imposing character...textbook defender. With the kind of weight that he’s gained he lost a little a imagine...but I could be wrong

Regarding his weight during his playing days, I read that he was under instructions to stay under 98kg (215lbs) because he was notorious for gaining weight. The 180lbs must have been from early in his playing days!

I reckon he still knocks on the door of 6'2", at least in the morning. As far as his weight goes, in the Harry's Heroes charity football thing on ITV he was confirmed to be (at least) 350lbs...

He’s put on enormous weight actually. Maybe he is pushing 270lbs. But despite this I think he could still be around 6ft2 and a bit over it peak. Could pass for a 6ft3 guy in the 90’s

He use to live near me 12 years ago and I see him about in the Welcome pub, town, super market etc... even back then he probably only had about an inch on me and I’m 184cm in the afternoon maybe a bit below 188cm Id say 187cm in his early 40s and maybe 6’1 flat now.
On weight he was weight recently on Harry Redknapp’s show and was weighed at 152kgs which is over 330lb

Looks 184cm with less footwear,so at the very most he could be a weak 6'2 although he clearly doesn't look it here.187cm MAX.

Can confirm my lovely M&S brogues had a heel ever so slightly under 1 inch... Ruddocks looked incredibly similar.
Regardless, he is absolutely massive, his hands are like dinner plates!

I met Neil Razor Ruddock last year at the football blogging awards, I would have put him at about 6ft 2 ½

At most I'm about 6ft 3 ½
In the picture we we're both wearing brogues with about a 2 inch heel.
Thoughts?

If they ever remake the Good Bad and The Ugly, Razor should play the prison warden in it! He'd make a great character actor in a western! If Razor is 6 ft 2 Rylan possibly could be 6 '4.5, I think that was the last Big brother I saw probably five years back

A strong 188cm in his heyday. I bet he was more than 82kg even in his youth. Would have guessed 88kg and later on close to 100kg. Nowadays at least 125kg.

In the latter stages of his career he was described as 6'3. Never thought of him as any more than 6'2 peak. Weight-wise, he was also one of the heavier footballers and 200 lbs during his playing days seems closer to the mark. Looks close enough to 6'2 in pic with Rob.

Doesn't he just? However 12st12 must have been his weight when he was a player! Now the big question is whether he is still 6'2" or not, from the above picture I am not convinced about the full 6'2" for his nowadays height but I will reserve judgment at the moment!

I gathered that that weight applied to his early career, but seeing it written down like this is just going to make us all aware of what a big boy he's become - but smashing with it, of course! 😉

Editor RobRuddock still looked over 6ft 1 that day, he's now age 50, whether he has lost height of note (beyond 1/4 inch) I'm not sure...but I mean I'd have guessed him as being close to 6ft 1.5, but with less footwear would say near 6ft 2 was possible.
You can see with Matt Le Tissier he was a decent 6ft 2 guy.
