When he was nine years old, he moved with his family to England and grew up in the Bishopton area of Stratford-upon-Avon. He has described his early life as "hopelessly itinerant" and said his family moved constantly owing to the aspirations and failures of his father, who was an occasionally violent alcoholic; Ramsay described him as a "hard-drinking womaniser". In his autobiography, he revealed that his father abused and neglected the children and his mother.{{cite news | title=Mad for it | work=The Guardian | location=UK | url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/foodmonthly/story/0,,488328,00.html | access-date=1 August 2006 | first=Lynn | last=Barber | date=13 May 2001 | archive-date=16 July 2006 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060716083206/http://observer.guardian.co.uk/foodmonthly/story/0,,488328,00.html | url-status=live }} He worked as a pot washer in a local Indian restaurant where his sister was a waitress.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS8gvRrsJz0 "Gordon Ramsay On Pranking His Daughter During Her First Driving Lesson – The Jonathan Ross Show"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107235857/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS8gvRrsJz0&feature=youtu.be |date=7 November 2020 }} – YouTube, published 12 March 2016 He had hoped to become a footballer and was first chosen to play under-14 football at the age of 12, but his early footballing career was marked by injuries; after a serious knee injury, he was forced to give it up.

Ramsay's interest in cooking began in his teenage years; rather than be known as "the football player with the gammy knee", he decided to pay more serious attention to his culinary education at age 19. Ramsay enrolled at North Oxfordshire Technical College, sponsored by the Rotarians, to study hotel management. He described his decision to enter catering college as "a complete accident".{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/roastinginhellsk00gord | url-access=registration | quote=ramsay an accident, a complete accident. | title=Roasting in Hell's Kitchen: Temper Tantrums, F Words, and the Pursuit of Perfection | publisher=HarperCollins | last=Ramsay|first= Gordon | year=2006 | isbn=9780061191756|access-date=15 September 2016}}

In the mid-1980s, Ramsay worked as a commis chef at the Wroxton House Hotel. He ran the kitchen and 60-seat dining room at the Wickham Arms until he quit after having sex with the owner's wife.{{cite web|url=http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/stories/benfordham/449154/the-chef-from-hell |title=The Chef from Hell |publisher=ninemsn.com.au |access-date=14 August 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118223745/http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/stories/benfordham/449154/the-chef-from-hell |archive-date=18 January 2012 }} Ramsay then moved to London, where he worked in a series of restaurants until being inspired to work for Marco Pierre White at Harveys.

After working at Harveys for two years and ten months, Ramsay, tired of "the rages and the bullying and violence", decided that the way to further advance his career was to study French cuisine. White discouraged Ramsay from taking a job in Paris, instead encouraging him to work for Albert Roux at Le Gavroche in Mayfair. Ramsay decided to take his advice, and there, Ramsay met Jean-Claude Breton, who later became his maître d'hôtel at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. After Ramsay worked at Le Gavroche for a year, Roux invited him to work with him at Hotel Diva, a ski resort in the French Alps, as his number two. From there, a 23-year-old Ramsay moved to Paris to work with Guy Savoy and Joël Robuchon, both Michelin-starred chefs. He continued his training in France for three years, before giving in to the physical and mental stress of the kitchens and taking a year to work as a personal chef on the private yacht Idlewild, based in Bermuda. The role on the boat saw him travel to Sicily and Sardinia, Italy, and learn about Italian cuisine.{{citation|last=BabbleTop|title=10 Times Gordon Ramsay was ACTUALLY NICE!|date=30 August 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vF8GvyjMP8 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/0vF8GvyjMP8 |archive-date=21 December 2021 |url-status=live|access-date=6 December 2017}}{{cbignore}}

Upon his return to London in 1993, Ramsay was offered the position of head chef, under chef-patron Pierre Koffmann, at the three-Michelin-starred La Tante Claire in Chelsea. Shortly thereafter, Marco Pierre White reentered his life, offering to set him up with a head chef position and 10% share in the Rossmore, owned by White's business partners. The restaurant was renamed Aubergine and won its first Michelin star 14 months later. In 1997, Aubergine won its second Michelin star. A dispute with Ramsay's business owners, who wanted to turn Aubergine into a chain, and Ramsay's dream of running his own restaurant led to his leaving the partnership in July 1998.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/07/30/style/chefs-walkoutwith-staff-sets-london-abroil.html|last=Today I Found Out|title=From Soccer Hopeful to Worlds Angriest Chef|newspaper=The New York Times|date=24 October 2016|access-date=28 January 2018|archive-date=8 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171208004154/http://www.nytimes.com/1998/07/30/style/chefs-walkoutwith-staff-sets-london-abroil.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BvaNnfrsSI|title=From Soccer Hopeful to Worlds Angriest Chef|website=YouTube|date=24 October 2016 |access-date=23 January 2017|archive-date=4 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204083523/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BvaNnfrsSI|url-status=live}} He has described the decision to set out on his own as "the most important day of my entire cooking career; the most important decision of my life."Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares episode "Rococo" (2006)

After establishing his first restaurant, Ramsay's empire expanded rapidly. He next opened Pétrus, then Amaryllis in Glasgow (which he was later forced to close), and later Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's. He hired his friend and maître d'hôtel Jean-Philippe Susilovic, who works at Pétrus and also appears on Ramsay's US television programme Hell's Kitchen. Restaurants at the Dubai Creek and Connaught hotels followed, the latter branded with his protegee Angela Hartnett's name. Ramsay has opened restaurants outside the UK, beginning with Verre in Dubai.

In late 2006, Gordon Ramsay Holdings purchased three London pubs, which were converted into gastropubs. These are: The Narrow in Limehouse, which opened in March 2007, the Devonshire in Chiswick, which opened in October 2007 and The Warrington in Maida Vale, which opened in February 2008. Both The Devonshire and The Warrington were sold in 2011.{{cite web |url=http://www.bighospitality.co.uk/Venues/Gordon-Ramsay-sells-The-Warrington-to-Faucet-Inn |title=Gordon Ramsay Sells The Warrington to Faucet Inn |date=3 August 2011 |publisher=BigHospitality.co.uk |access-date=4 August 2011 |archive-date=7 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160107115433/http://www.bighospitality.co.uk/Venues/Gordon-Ramsay-sells-The-Warrington-to-Faucet-Inn |url-status=live }} In May 2008, it was confirmed that Ramsay's protege of 15 years, Marcus Wareing, was going solo, having opened and operated Pétrus at The Berkeley Hotel on behalf of Gordon Ramsay Holdings since 2003.{{cite web | title=Marcus Wareing leaves Ramsay to work directly with Berkeley Hotel | work=Amanda Afiya | url=http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2008/05/27/321025/marcus-wareing-leaves-ramsay-to-work-directly-with-berkeley-hotel.html | date=27 May 2008 | access-date=27 May 2008 | publisher=Caterersearch.com | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528084335/http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2008/05/27/321025/marcus-wareing-leaves-ramsay-to-work-directly-with-berkeley-hotel.html | archive-date=28 May 2008 | url-status=dead }} With the name Pétrus owned by Gordon Ramsay Holdings, industry sources suggested it was likely to transfer to another restaurant in the group with the former La Noisette site identified as the most likely.{{cite web | title=Ramsay to transfer Pétrus name following split with Wareing | work=Amanda Afiya | url=http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2008/05/27/321028/ramsay-to-transfer-ptrus-name-following-split-with-wareing.html | date=27 May 2008 | access-date=27 May 2008 | publisher=Caterersearch.com | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528084346/http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2008/05/27/321028/ramsay-to-transfer-ptrus-name-following-split-with-wareing.html | archive-date=28 May 2008 | url-status=dead }} In April 2010, Jason Atherton, executive chef of Maze restaurants worldwide, resigned to open his own venue in Mayfair.{{cite news |last=Vines |first=Richard |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-04-01/gordon-ramsay-chef-jason-atherton-quitting-maze-to-open-his-own-restaurant.html |title=Ramsay Chef Jason Atherton Quits Maze to Open Own Restaurant |publisher=Bloomberg |access-date=1 August 2010 |date=1 April 2010 |archive-date=23 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100723150549/http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-04-01/gordon-ramsay-chef-jason-atherton-quitting-maze-to-open-his-own-restaurant.html |url-status=live }}

On 19 October 2010, the company Gordon Ramsay Holdings Limited announced that Chris Hutcheson had left his position as CEO. Shortly afterwards, Ramsay released a letter to the press describing how he had unravelled the "manipulative" Hutcheson's "complex life" after having had him followed by a private detective. His father-in-law's "away days," wrote Ramsay, "were rarely what I thought they were." Company accounts show Hutcheson borrowed up to £1.5 million from Gordon Ramsay Holdings, though Hutcheson says he reported the borrowings to the company and paid the money back. Hutcheson said he had been "vaporised" and subjected to a "public hanging" by Ramsay, whom he described as a friendless egotist.{{cite news |last=Gilligan |first=Andrew |title=Can Gordon Ramsay still cut it? |work=Telegraph. |date=11 November 2010 |access-date=28 September 2011 |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/8125119/Can-Gordon-Ramsay-still-cut-it.html |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101114020501/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/8125119/Can-Gordon-Ramsay-still-cut-it.html |url-status= dead |archive-date= 14 November 2010 |location=London}} In April 2017, Hutcheson pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to hack into the computers of Gordon Ramsay Holdings Limited.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39565790 |title=Gordon Ramsay's father-in-law admits computer hacking |work=BBC News|access-date=11 April 2017 |date=11 April 2017 |archive-date=11 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170411115234/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39565790 |url-status=live }}

Ramsay's first documented role in television was in two fly-on-the-kitchen-wall documentaries: Boiling Point (1999) and Beyond Boiling Point (2000), but he had appeared previously as a judge on a MasterChef-like series for young catering students in 1997, with his then restaurant partner. Ramsay appeared on series three of Faking It in 2001, helping the prospective chef, a burger flipper named Ed Devlin, learn the trade.

In 2004, Ramsay appeared in two British television series. Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares aired on Channel 4 and saw the chef troubleshooting failing restaurants over one week. This series ran its fifth series in 2007. Hell's Kitchen, a reality show which aired on ITV1, saw Ramsay attempt to train ten British celebrities to be chefs, as they ran a restaurant on Brick Lane in the East End of London, which opened to the public for the two-week duration of the show. Although he was the creator of Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay only starred in the first series, as he signed a four-year contract with Channel 4, ruling out any possibility of him appearing on future episodes of the ITV-produced show.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5058226.stm | work=BBC News | title=Chef Ramsay in new Channel 4 deal | date=5 July 2019 | access-date=5 July 2019 | archive-date=17 August 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817011943/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5058226.stm | url-status=live }}

In May 2005, the Fox network introduced Ramsay to American audiences in an American version of Hell's Kitchen produced by Granada Entertainment and A. Smith & Co. The show follows a similar premise to the original British series, showcasing Ramsay's perfectionism and infamously short temper.

Ramsay has presented five series of a food-based magazine programme titled The F Word; it launched on Channel 4 on 27 October 2005. The show is organised around several key recurring features, notably a brigade competition, a guest cook competition, a food-related investigative report, and a series-long project of raising animals to be served in the finale. The guest cook (usually a celebrity) prepares a dish of their own choosing and places it in competition against a similar dish submitted by Ramsay. The dishes are judged by diners who are unaware of who cooked which dish and, if the guest wins (as they have on numerous occasions), their dish is served at Ramsay's restaurant. The American version premiered on 31 May 2017 on Fox.{{cite web|last1=Malone|first1=Michael|title='F Word With Gordon Ramsay' Debuts on Fox May 31|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/programming/f-word-gordon-ramsay-debuts-fox-may-31/164338|website=Broadcasting Cable|date=22 March 2017|access-date=22 March 2017|archive-date=23 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170323042604/http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/programming/f-word-gordon-ramsay-debuts-fox-may-31/164338|url-status=live}}

On 5 June 2009, Ramsay started trading insults with Australian A Current Affair journalist Tracy Grimshaw. The day after his interview, he was a guest feature at the Melbourne Food and Wine festival. While doing his display, he allegedly insulted Grimshaw and made insinuations about her sexuality.

Prior to the late 2000s, Ramsay had expressed a dislike for vegetarianism and veganism. In the first episode of the second series of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (2005), he offered pizza to a vegetarian and said it was vegetarian. After he took a bite, Ramsay said that it contained ham, laughing and asked if he wanted more. In 2003, when asked for his most recent lie, he said "To a table of vegetarians who had artichoke soup. I told them it was made with vegetable stock when it was chicken stock."{{cite news|last=Nikkhah|first=Roya|date=14 May 2005|title=Ramsay's pizza joke outrages vegetarians|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1490038/Ramsays-pizza-joke-outrages-vegetarians.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1490038/Ramsays-pizza-joke-outrages-vegetarians.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=11 August 2020|issn=0307-1235}}{{cbignore}}{{cite web|date=22 May 2005|title=Barbara Ellen: Pity the vegetarian|url=http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2005/may/22/foodanddrink.features|access-date=11 August 2020|website=The Guardian|archive-date=14 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114053348/https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2005/may/22/foodanddrink.features|url-status=live}} In a 2007 interview, he joked: "My biggest nightmare would be if the kids ever came up to me and said 'Dad, I'm a vegetarian.'

In 2006, on the second series of The F Word, Ramsay showed a softened stance on vegetarianism after learning about intensive pig farming practices, including castration and tail docking, while letting two young family piglets live in an intensive farm. On the programme, Ramsay commented: "It's enough to make anyone turn fucking vegetarian, for God's sake. And I've always sort of knocked vegetarians and vegans for missing out on the most amazing flavour you can get from meat. But you can see why so many people change instantly".The F Word, Series 2, Episode 6 2006.07.26 In 2019, he launched a vegan menu at his restaurants for Veganuary,{{cite web|title=London's Most Indulgent Veganuary Menus|url=https://www.theresident.co.uk/food-drink-london/veganuary-london-best-restaurant-menus/|access-date=11 August 2020|website=www.theresident.co.uk|archive-date=22 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622054945/https://www.theresident.co.uk/food-drink-london/veganuary-london-best-restaurant-menus/|url-status=live}} and introduced more vegan items to his restaurants, such as a vegan roast.{{cite web|date=14 March 2019|title=Hotheaded chef Gordon Ramsay's new vegan roast is under fire|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/111284769/hotheaded-chef-gordon-ramsays-new-vegan-roast-is-under-fire|access-date=11 August 2020|website=Stuff|archive-date=26 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201226223033/https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/111284769/hotheaded-chef-gordon-ramsays-new-vegan-roast-is-under-fire|url-status=live}} In 2022, on an episode of Master Chef: Back to Win, Ramsay said, "After all these years, I can finally admit, that I actually love vegan food."Antonia DiBianchi, "Gordon Ramsay 'Finally Admits' He 'Loves Vegan Food' During MasterChef's First Vegan Challenge," [https://people.com/food/gordon-ramsay-can-finally-admit-that-he-loves-vegan-food-ahead-of-masterchef-challenge/ People.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220717211650/https://people.com/food/gordon-ramsay-can-finally-admit-that-he-loves-vegan-food-ahead-of-masterchef-challenge/ |date=17 July 2022 }} 12 July 2022.

Ramsay said in 2016 that he exercised semi-competitively for his general well-being. He said he had seen overweight and unfit chefs collapse or become unable to move quickly around the kitchen. He often competes in Ironman events, marathons, and triathlons. Ramsay also eats very little per meal and prefers to graze throughout the day, partly due to the habit he built up as a judge and chef and also because of his busy schedule.{{cite news|url=http://www.delish.com/food-news/a47817/gordon-ramsays-workout-routine/|title=Gordon Ramsay's Workout Routine Will Leave You Feeling Winded|date=22 June 2016|work=Delish|access-date=6 December 2017|archive-date=6 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171206150657/http://www.delish.com/food-news/a47817/gordon-ramsays-workout-routine/|url-status=live}}{{citation|title=Simple Everyday Things GORDON RAMSAY Enjoys|date=3 July 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mu82GigVSI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/1Mu82GigVSI |archive-date=21 December 2021 |url-status=live|access-date=6 December 2017}}{{cbignore}} He has a black belt in karate.{{cite web|date=6 October 2017|title=20Q: Gordon Ramsay {{!}} Playboy|url=https://www.playboy.com/articles/20q-gordon-ramsay|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171006054637/https://www.playboy.com/articles/20q-gordon-ramsay|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 October 2017|access-date=4 June 2021}} Ramsay told Joe Wicks that cycling had improved his physical and mental health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08kd82g|title=The Joe Wicks Podcast: Gordon Ramsay|date=13 July 2020|work=BBC|access-date=15 February 2022|archive-date=15 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220215203454/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08kd82g|url-status=live}}

He fulfilled his aim of finishing 10 marathons in 10 years by running his 10th consecutive London Marathon on 26 April 2009, sponsoring the Scottish Spina Bifida Association.{{cite web|url=http://www.thelondonpaper.com/thelondonpaper/celebrity/celeb-news/london-marathon-2009-gordon-ramsay-and-katie-price-to-battle-pro |title=London Marathon 2009: Gordon Ramsay and Katie Price to battle professionals in capital street race |publisher=thelondonpapaer |date=24 April 2009 |access-date=17 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090427140535/http://www.thelondonpaper.com/thelondonpaper/celebrity/celeb-news/london-marathon-2009-gordon-ramsay-and-katie-price-to-battle-pro |archive-date=27 April 2009 }} Ramsay has been Honorary Patron of the Scottish Spina Bifida Association since 2004, and in 2005 he launched The Gordon Ramsay "Buy a Brick" appeal to help the organisation raise funds to build a new Family Support Centre and Head Office in Glasgow. In 2006, he launched a new appeal to help the charity raise the funds required to continue to run the support centre: "What's your favourite 'F' Word? Gordon's is Fundraising." In November 2007, Ramsay hosted a St Andrew's Day Gala Dinner at Stirling Castle in aid of the Association and has now made this fundraising Gala Dinner an annual event.{{cite web |url=http://www.ssba.org.uk/ |title=Scottish Spina Bifida Association official website |publisher=Ssba.org.uk |access-date=16 May 2011 |archive-date=17 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150817195505/http://www.ssba.org.uk/ |url-status=live }}

During March 2005, Ramsay teamed up with Indian chef Madhur Jaffrey to help the VSO, an international development charity group, to support its Spice Up Your Life event. The charity hoped to raise £100,000 for VSO's work in HIV and AIDS in India.{{cite web|url=http://www.vso.org.uk/news/pressreleases/spice_2005.asp |title=Spice Up Your Life in 2005 – Media Releases |publisher=Vso.org.uk |access-date=16 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100618043808/http://www.vso.org.uk/news/pressreleases/spice_2005.asp |archive-date=18 June 2010 }} The Ramsays were the first couple to become ambassadors for the women's charity Women's Aid in 2005.

In 2008, Ramsay was in Iceland's Westman Islands filming a puffin hunting segment when he lost his footing and fell during a descent off an {{convert|85|m|adj=on}} cliff, landing in the icy water below. He was able to swim back up to the surface of the water by removing his heavy boots and waterproof clothing. His film crew, who rescued him by throwing him a rope, reported that he was submerged for at least 45 seconds. He later recalled, "I thought I was a goner. I was panicking and my lungs were filling with water. When I got to the top after getting my boots off, I was dazed and my head was totally massive."{{cite web|url=http://news.ninemsn.com/article.aspx?id=604768 |title=I thought I would die: Gordon Ramsay |publisher=Nine MSN |access-date=16 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090123182100/http://news.ninemsn.com/article.aspx?id=604768 |archive-date=23 January 2009 }}

In June 2024, Ramsay was involved in a bicycle accident in the US state of Connecticut that left bruising on the entirety of his left abdomen. He later remarked on social media that his helmet saved his life, and emphasized the importance of wearing a helmet whilst cycling.{{cite web |title=Gordon Ramsay Says He's 'Lucky to Be Here' After 'Really Bad' Bicycling Accident: My Helmet 'Saved My Life' |url=https://people.com/gordon-ramsay-says-lucky-to-be-here-after-bicycling-accident-8664007 |access-date=16 June 2024 |website=Peoplemag }}

On 17 April 2009, it was revealed that one of Ramsay's restaurants, Foxtrot Oscar in London's Chelsea area, used pre-prepared food that was heated up and sold with mark-ups of up to 586%. It was also revealed that three of his gastropubs in London did the same thing. A spokeswoman for Ramsay said, "Gordon Ramsay chefs prepare components of dishes devised and produced to the highest Gordon Ramsay standards. These are supplied to those kitchens with limited cooking space such as Foxtrot Oscar and Gordon Ramsay's highly acclaimed pubs, including the Narrow. These are sealed and transported daily in refrigerated vans and all menu dishes are then cooked in the individual kitchens. This is only for the supply of Foxtrot Oscar and the three pubs and allows each establishment to control the consistency and the quality of the food served."{{cite news |last=Brown |first=Craig |url=http://news.scotsman.com/latestnews/Ramsay39s-new-Fword-frozen-ready.5182757.jp |title=Ramsay's new F-word: frozen ready meals served up at celebrity prices |publisher=Press Association/TV.com |date=18 April 2009 |access-date=1 August 2010 |location=Edinburgh |work=The Scotsman |archive-date=18 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918234949/http://news.scotsman.com/latestnews/Ramsay39s-new-Fword-frozen-ready.5182757.jp |url-status=live }}{{cite web|url=http://www.tv.com/gordon-ramsay-defends-prepared-food/story/14021.html |title=Gordon Ramsay defends prepared food |publisher=TV.com |date=19 April 2009 |access-date=1 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101013164610/http://www.tv.com/gordon-ramsay-defends-prepared-food/story/14021.html |archive-date=13 October 2010 }} Reflecting on the controversy in 2010, Ramsay was unapologetic: "When I was working at the Gavroche all those years ago, the duck terrine wasn't made there. It was made outside, then brought to the restaurant wrapped in plastic. This is standard practice. What on earth was the fuss about?"{{cite news |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article6988042.ece |last=Cavendish |first=Lucy |title=Gordon Ramsay's escape to India – with a TV crew |work=The Times |location=UK |date=5 February 2010 |access-date=15 January 2010 |archive-date=29 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100529093447/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article6988042.ece |url-status=dead }}

On 23 March 2022 in an interview for BBC Radio 2, Ramsay remarked, "Trust me I absolutely love Cornwall, it's just the Cornish I can't stand." This received a response from the leader of the political party Mebyon Kernow, Clir D. Cole saying;

I am really disappointed to hear Gordon Ramsay's divisive comments and his lack of respect for the Cornish people. It is shocking that he deems it OK to make such a public statement that he would presumably not make about other national or ethnic groups. It does need to be pointed out that the Cornish are protected as a 'national minority' just like the Welsh and Scots through the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. I sincerely hope he will reflect on his words and apologise. Many people living to the west of the Tamar do not enjoy as good a life as Mr Ramsay, and I would welcome the media doing some features on poverty, the housing crisis and other socio-economic problems suffered by ordinary people in Cornwall, as well as the need for greater support for Cornish identity and culture.

Ramsay's spokesman said: "Gordon has made these tongue-in-cheek comments many, many times."{{cite web |date=25 March 2022 |title=Gordon Ramsay says he loves Cornwall but 'can't stand' the Cornish |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gordom-ramsay-cornwall-cornish-people-b2043872.html |website=Independent.co.uk |access-date=25 March 2022 |archive-date=25 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220325150205/https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gordom-ramsay-cornwall-cornish-people-b2043872.html |url-status=live }}{{cite web |date=12 March 2022 |title=Gordon Ramsay reignites feud after saying he 'cant stand' the Cornish |url=https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/gordon-ramsay-cornwall-feud-cant-stand-cornish/ |access-date=2 September 2022 |website=LBC |archive-date=28 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220528004707/https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/gordon-ramsay-cornwall-feud-cant-stand-cornish/ |url-status=live }}

Ramsay played football and was first chosen to play under-14 football at age 12. He was chosen to play for Warwickshire. His footballing career was marked by injuries, causing him to remark later in life, "Perhaps I was doomed when it came to football." In mid-1984, Ramsay had a trial with Rangers, the club he supported as a boy. He seriously injured his knee, smashing the cartilage during training.{{cite news|title=Gordon Ramsey – One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and 26 other celebrities who could have been sport stars|work=The Telegraph|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturepicturegalleries/10663142/One-Directions-Louis-Tomlinson-and-26-other-celebrities-who-could-have-been-sport-stars.html?frame=2740193|access-date=17 December 2019|archive-date=26 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926194854/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturepicturegalleries/10663142/One-Directions-Louis-Tomlinson-and-26-other-celebrities-who-could-have-been-sport-stars.html?frame=2740193|url-status=live}} Ramsay has claimed to have played two first-team games for Rangers.{{cite news|date=5 May 2002|title=Gordon Ramsay on Rangers|work=The Guardian|location=London|url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,708139,00.html|access-date=9 August 2010|archive-date=5 April 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100405203431/http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,708139,00.html|url-status=live}} According to his autobiography, Ramsay played "a couple of non-league matches as a trialist" for Rangers{{cite news|last1=Irvine|first1=Chris|last2=Edwards|first2=Richard|date=2 March 2009|title=Gordon Ramsay admits claims about his Rangers career may be inaccurate|work=The Telegraph|location=London|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/4903118/Gordon-Ramsay-admits-claims-about-his-Rangers-career-may-be-inaccurate.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090305110644/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/4903118/Gordon-Ramsay-admits-claims-about-his-Rangers-career-may-be-inaccurate.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 March 2009|access-date=9 November 2010}} and was signed by the club at the age of 15.{{cite web|date=19 January 2001|title=The man – Timeline|url=http://www.gordonramsay.com/corporate/theman/history/|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110302162516/http://www.gordonramsay.com/corporate/theman/history/|archive-date=2 March 2011|access-date=5 March 2011|publisher=Gordon Ramsay}} Allan Cairns, a photographer who took a picture of Ramsay playing for Rangers in September 1985, said the photo was not one of the Rangers first team but a side picked to play a testimonial match.

In series 4, episode 12, of The F Word (originally aired on 29 July 2008), Ramsay visited Ibrox, the home ground of his favourite childhood team, Rangers, and exclaimed, "Home sweet home!" He explained, "My dream came true when I was spotted in the mid-[19]80s and I joined the youth team here in Ibrox." He related that one of his fondest memories is playing alongside former Rangers and Scotland striker Ally McCoist, who said about Ramsay: "I remember him well and the one thing that never ever will change is that he's a competitive so-and-so and wants to do and be the best that he can." Ramsay recalled that "the pain of being released on the back of an injury" was only assuaged many years later "after receiving [his] third Michelin Star", and concluded, "Without the upset at Ibrox, I would not be the chef I am today."{{cite web|date=6 April 2009|title=Season 4 Episode 12 – Gordon Ramsay's F Word|url=http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/159/f-word-season-4-episode-12.jsp|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090903115108/http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/159/f-word-season-4-episode-12.jsp|archive-date=3 September 2009|access-date=1 August 2010|publisher=BBC America}}
