Former Liverpool defender Neil Ruddock has undergone an amazing weight loss transformation after 'years of struggling.'
The ex-Red has lost a total of seven stone after admitting his weight got as high as 27 stone during lockdown, having revealed he was 'getting bigger and bigger.'
'Razor' Ruddock took action against his rising weight and underwent gastric sleeve surgery last year as he revealed he can eat what he wants, but only about 'four mouthfuls.'

The 54-year-old took to Twitter as he looks ahead to his next 'chapter' in life after having the gastric sleeve fitted. "After years of struggling with my weight, I decided it was finally time to take action," Ruddock said.
"Last year I had gastric sleeve surgery with @WeAreTransform_ & I’m well into my weight loss journey, to date I've lost 93lbs. This is a fresh start & I’m excited about this new chapter."
The transformation drew plenty of congratulatory tweets from former players, including Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler, who replied: "Love it Raze".
As well as Fowler, former Celtic and Wales striker John Hartson responded: "Looking a million dollars big fella", while ex-Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour added: "Well done Big Razor".
Ruddock was signed for Liverpool in 1993 from Tottenham Hotspur and went on to make 115 appearances in a five year spell at the club - winning the League Cup in 1995.
