At the request of a friend, he nagged little Redknapp, that is, Jamie Redknapp. As for this English player, whose talent is comparable to Steven Gerrard, he became famous in the football world shortly after his debut, and was highly expected by England, and is an out-and-out British star. It's a pity that he met a quack doctor when he was 20 years old, and his entire career was delayed:
Jamie Redknapp was born on June 25, 1973 in Barton Ance, England. His father is none other than English football legend Harry Redknapp. As early as Jamie Redknapp's teenage years, his father, Harry Redknapp, was at the helm of the club and was well known in English coaching circles.
Needless to say, with such a father, Jamie Redknapp, as a player, can more or less take advantage of it. Back in the 1989-90 season, when Jamie Redknapp was sixteen or seventeen years old, he made his way onto the professional league stage, playing for Bournemouth under his dad Harry Redknapp.
It didn't take long for Dalglish to realise Jamie Redknapp's talent and bring him to Anfield. Jamie Redknapp is very happy about this, because he has supported the Liverpool team since he was a child, and Dalglish is his idol.
However, Jamie Redknapp's euphoria didn't last long, and Dalglish made the decision to resign. Dalglish's successor, Souness, was not interested in Jamie Redknapp in the early days of his tenure at Liverpool, and once sent his new signings to the reserves.

Everything happens for a reason. Souness treats Jamie Redknapp like this, and naturally there will be reasons for him. On the one hand, at this time, Souness misunderstood Jamie Redknapp, believing that he was just a football bastard who benefited from his father's influence, and on the other hand, Jamie Redknapp himself had some problems. He is handsome, has a good temperament, and has good family conditions, I don't know how many girls want to date him. Against this backdrop, Jamie Redknapp is relentless and frequently dates girls, which naturally affects his performance in training.
With those two factors combined, it's no surprise that Souness has relegated Jamie Redknapp to the reserves. On top of that, Souness also gave Redknapp a bunch of tasks, such as cleaning up in the cafeteria after training.
If it were replaced by other talented newcomers who encountered this kind of treatment, I am afraid that they would have already left with a cover. But Redknapp's attitude was excellent, and he honestly completed the task assigned by Souness, without any complaints. In order to accomplish these tasks, Redknapp put a lot of effort into it. By the time he left the training base, he was exhausted and no longer had the energy to go on a date with the girl......
Redknapp's attitude will naturally be seen by Souness. The Liverpool manager at the time gradually recognized Redknapp. By the time of the 1992-93 season, Redknapp had finally come out of the box and become a regular in Liverpool's main squad, showing himself as an organizational midfielder.
Don't look at Redknapp at this time is not yet 20 years old, but his style of play is quite old, and he is determined to command on the court. In the eyes of many, this is the embryo of a superstar.
Fans who didn't live through that era may not know much about Redknapp's level before the age of 20. The author might as well say that Redknapp at this stage is comparable to Gerrard before the age of 20. It's just that their respective advantages are different. Gerrard's strength and scoring ability are above Redknapp's, and Redknapp's overall vision and playmaking ability are significantly stronger than Gerrard's.
Redknapp, who has such outstanding ability, is naturally regarded as a British star, and is expected by the entire English football world. But such an existence was plagued by injuries in his second season as the main player, in the 1993-94 season. In the Liverpool match against Bristol City, Redknapp suddenly felt discomfort in his knee, and the result of the examination was a torn meniscus in his right knee.
A torn meniscus is an injury that many players have encountered, and there are many treatment options. Conservative treatments such as those with a longer recovery time, such as a partially removed meniscus...... In fact, they are all feasible solutions.
However, the doctors who were in charge of treating Redknapp's wounds at the time, for some reason, actually adopted the treatment with the biggest sequelae: complete meniscus removal.
As long as you have a little sports knowledge, you should know very well how much damage a complete meniscus removal can do to a player. This means that in the rest of the player's career, his knee is in a state of bone grinding, who can bear this?
This kind of solution, which even ordinary fans know is not feasible, has been used by doctors on Redknapp, the British star. To put it mildly, the professional level of these doctors can only be described as quacks. Even Redknapp, who was the person in question, couldn't figure out why the doctors did what they did. According to Redknapp, he has never been given a proper explanation.
This surgery was bad enough. But worse is yet to come. Ten days after Redknapp had his meniscus removed, he began training. About another ten days later, the British star will be in the official competition.
The grossly wrong treatment plan, combined with a severely inadequate amount of time to recuperate, cost Redknapp dearly. In the days that followed, he was plagued by injuries from time to time, and his athletic ability was greatly reduced.
Even so, Redknapp showed his style. As long as he is in a relatively healthy state, he is Liverpool's main midfielder. He, along with McManaman and Fowler, propped up Liverpool's attacking line. Redknapp deployed in midfield, McManaman broke through the ball, and finally it was Fowler who made the final decision.
Redknapp's performance will naturally be watched by Liverpool. In August 1999, Paul Ince left Anfield. The 26-year-old Redknapp took over the captain's armband from Paul Ince and officially captained Liverpool. It's just that at this time, Redknapp, his knee injury is already very serious, and there is no way to guarantee his playing time.
In the summer of 2002, Redknapp waved goodbye to Anfield and went to Tottenham to continue his career. In the early days of the British star's arrival at Tottenham, he was in decent health and played some quality games. However, having his meniscus removed by quacks, it was difficult for him to maintain his health. He may have been recovering from injuries for longer than he has been playing football. In this way, the 29-year-old Redknapp was reduced to Tottenham's chicken ribs, leaving his new club tasteless and abandoned.
After a few years at Tottenham, Redknapp left White Hart Lane to play for his father's Southampton. However, the British star's problems are not something that can be solved by a transfer. He only played for Southampton for half a season before he had to announce that he was hanging up his boots because of a knee problem.
