What a Ruddy good night! 

Razor Ruddock and Paul Merson put on a great show at the De Vere

 

The other big match: ex-Liverpool player Neil 'Razor' Ruddock and ex-Arsenal star Paul Merson battle it out on the same night that their teams face each other in the Champions League

The battle of the Champions League was not just at Anfield last night - with Liverpool and Arsenal coming head to head at a charity sporting dinner with Neil 'Razor' Ruddock and Paul Merson. 

 

Organised by KM Promotions, it was an entertaining evening of sporting anecdotes, tricks and football banter at the De Vere in Swindon, with almost 300 people turning up to meet their idols.

 

Special guests for the night included Swindon Town legend Don Rogers, boxing star Jamie Cox, and Miss Swindon Rebecca Cole, who all helped raise money for the chosen charities - The Green Hut and The Koalas.

 

At every event that KM Promotions run there is a respect and reward table that is set aside to recognise the good work done by local volunteers.

 

Ruddock said: "It's good to come back and catch up with old friends - I didn't have a great time when I was in Swindon before, but hopefully that's all forgotten."
