Neil Ruddock took to his own twitter account to show his support and excitement of coming to Jersey:
The Business Manager of the Brain Tumour Charity Kevin Pamplin, is thrilled for a couple of reasons as he explains:
“As a big Spurs fan I’m thrilled that Razor is coming over to spend an evening here on the island which will be as memorable as one of his crunching tackles on the pitch. Secondly we can’t thank him and the event promotors enough in choosing our charity to benefit.
“I am sure with Mr Ruddock’s influence we can raise as much money as possible on the night, which goes a long way in helping the many islanders we support here on the island, as we here at JBTC tackle the growing number of Brain Tumour related issues for those who we support. We urge all football fans to grab your seat and dig deep to help islanders for a great night in return.”
