Robbie Fowler insists he ‘didn’t do number two in Neil Razor Ruddock’s shoe’
Robbie Fowler has insisted: “I didn’t do a number two in Razor’s shoe.”
Hardman Neil Ruddock famously gave his Liverpool team-mate “a slap” for the poo incident on a flight back from a UEFA Cup game against Georgia’s Spartak Vladikavkaz in 1995.
He told Paddy Power’s podcast he fell asleep on the plane but then wanted to go for a pee.
Razor said: “I put my feet in the Reebok Classics and someone had pooed in my trainer.”
He was told it was Robbie and Razor, 52, said: “When we landed, he walked around the corner and I slapped him.”
But striker Robbie, 45, said Razor had cut up his trainers on the plane – and he retaliated by cutting up the defender’s pair of Chelsea boots.
He said: “I love Razor, I think he’s brilliant, he’s so funny but I think he’s definitely added in a few little ten pennies to that story.
“I’ll let it slide and I’m not suing him because he’s me mate, but I think he’s saying someone had defecated in his shoe.
“Now what happened on an aeroplane coming back from Vladikavkaz, obviously we’d all had a drink and someone had cut my shoes.
“And I wasn’t bothered in all honesty, because I was sponsored by Puma at the time, but I found out it was Razor so I’m thinking, ‘I’m going to get him back here’.
“Obviously where I’m from I’m not going to let anyone take the p**s out of me. I’m not soft.”
To make matters worse, Robbie said he soon discovered his bag and spare pair of trainers had been also “cut to pieces”.
He said that after the defender had a few drinks and fell asleep he set about taking revenge on a brand new pair of Chelsea boots that Razor’s then wife had bought him.
Robbie said: “I go up to the stewardess on the plane and gets a pair of scissors.
“By the time I’d finished with these Chelsea boots, they were like a pair of Jesus sandals. They had holes in them everywhere.”
Robbie claimed on his podcast that Razor called him “every name under the sun” and warned him he better buy a new pair, with the row continuing as they left the plane.

He said: “Next minute he just turns round and he lamps me.
“He turns around and chins me and I’m proud of a lot of things in my life – winning trophies, scoring goals – but one of the bigger things I’m proud of is that I took a dig off Neil Ruddock and stayed on me feet.
“But it was nothing to do with any number twos, I promise you that.
“If anyone has done a number two any other time it certainly wasn’t me.”
