In September 1985, Gordon Ramsay played for Rangers in a testimonial match as a trialist. Allan Cairns, a photographer, captured Ramsay playing, clarifying it wasn't the first team.
In 1998, following Ramsay's resignation from Aubergine, A-Z restaurants sued him for £1 million citing lost revenue and breach of contract, but eventually settled out of court.
In June 2007, Ramsay's show was sued by the terminated general manager of the New York restaurant Purnima (Dillon's), who alleged fakery, alleging that 'problems uncovered and solved' by Ramsay were created by him and his staff.
In August 2007, the lawsuit against Ramsay by the terminated general manager of Purnima was dismissed voluntarily and ordered into arbitration as stipulated in their contract.
