Ruddock was signed by Liverpool from Tottenham Hotspur on a £2.5 million transfer. While at Liverpool, Ruddock was famously involved in an on-field scuffle with Manchester United star Eric Cantona. Ruddock responded to Cantona’s taunts about his weight by turning down the Frenchman’s collar. As an after-dinner speaker, Ruddock says of the incident, “trust me to pick the only Frenchman around who wanted a tear-up. In 1995, he was absolved of fracturing Peter Beardsley’s jaw with an elbow in a testimonial match, to which Beardsley contemplated legal action on the grounds that Ruddock acted deliberately, but later decided to withdraw charges. In 1996, Ruddock’s tackle on Andrew Cole of Manchester United in a reserve game at Anfield left the player with two broken legs, and Ruddock claimed innocence, while Cole said he believed Ruddock did not intend harm. However, in a 2010 interview with Talksport, he jokingly refers to the incident as “not big, and not clever”, adding “but it was great”, and that “I didn’t mean to break both of his legs if I’m honest, I only meant to break one”.
