Went to one of those evening with a legend talks last night and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Robbie Fowler no showed, but other than that it was hilarious.
Great stories of yesteryear about how the players would go drinking with the fans in the pubs and how the game was
Ruddock spoke about cantona and how he would offer to fight ruddock in the tunnel because he kept turning his collar down.
Mers was very open about his drinking, drug and gambling addiction.
Overall 2 very genuine, likeable and approachable guys, would highly recommend.
Merson and ruddock

Did you watch the Harry Redknapp programme a while back?
Was surprised at how open Merson was on there and really felt for the guy. Say what you like about him, but he's just a normal bloke, nice enough, and has fallen into addiction.
That said, his background does at least mean there is support there for him. You can see how it can totally destroy the lives of those who are not so fortunate.

I watched that and felt the same about Merson, then during the adverts straight after that program finished he was yelling 'BOOST!' with the 'lads' on the Skybet advert

Think it was Ruddock that told a story about McAteer a few years ago.
McAteer had locked himself out of his car and couldn't find his spare keys. Ruddock told him to go in his house to get a coathanger to slide down the window gap and hook the lock.
McAteer came back out with a wooden coathanger.

He was out on the p!ss once, I think with Phil Babb, and they stopped at a pizza place on the way home. Mcateer ordered himself s pizza and the bloke serving him asked "Do you want me to cut it into 8 slices or 16?"
"Erm....just 8 please mate. There's no way all be able to eat 16."
