The celebrity chef had a strong grounding in football but was never quite able to make the breakthrough before serious injury ended his career
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay might be best known for his foul-mouthed rants around kitchens both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, but the star of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen was close to becoming a professional footballer.
He was brought up on the terraces of Ibrox, watching Rangers with his uncle Roland, becoming a regular at the Glasgow venue until he was 10, when his parents moved down south to Stratford-upon-Avon.
