Russell’s Most Embarrassing Moment
Aged 11, he headed on down to a local fairground ride where he spotted a teacup ride. “Ironically, I went on as a joke thinking I was too old and too cool for them. A few older lads decided to jump on and spin the cups really fast and I was sick all over my new LA Raiders jacket. For the next six months I was known as Tea Cup Sick Boy.” Poor ironic Russell.
