Gordon Parmar Hill[2] (born 31 January 1966), better known as The Wealdstone Raider, is an English builder who later gained prominence as an Internet meme.

[6] A builder by trade,[7] Hill now has over 70,000 followers on X[8] where he has gained a reputation for light-heartedly insulting celebrities comically using his catchphrases, including Arsenal F.C.

[11] Following England's victory over Ukraine in the quarter-final of Euro 2020 (July 2021), Hill was arrested on suspicion of being "drunk and disorderly" and taken to Caledonian Road Police Station.

[14] The original 33-second YouTube video entitled The Wealdstone Raider was uploaded to the video-sharing website on 10 March 2013, having been filmed the previous day.

[3] He says he lost his temper due to suffering 20 minutes of personal abuse from the opposing supporters filming him at the time, who he claims were mocking his speech impediment and "funny" appearance.

[20] However, the original uploader of the viral video, Darren Ward, claims this is not the case and that he was simply filming Hill whilst he himself was under the influence of alcohol because he thought it was amusing.

A further video, purportedly filmed during the UEFA Euro 2020 match between England and Ukraine on 3 July 2021, appears to show Hill running from police before being arrested.

[29] The media attention of which Hill has gained from the viral video and his charity single has led to an array of television appearances and interviews.

In addition, stock footage of the Raider has been used by various filmmakers for several YouTube poop mash-up videos, as well as for the dubbing of a number of popular television programmes and films, including Lord Sugar's The Apprentice and the Academy Award-winning blockbuster, Oliver!.
