On the latest episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, football legends John Barnes and Harry Redknapp sat down to reminisce about the good old days. The chat show was filled with hilarious anecdotes and stories that had the audience in stitches.
During the conversation, Barnes and Redknapp discussed their love for sports and the different games they played throughout their careers. Barnes mentioned that he had once played a game of volleyball, which was not traditional for football players. However, his enjoyment was short-lived as he fell after just five minutes and ruptured his patella tendon. Redknapp added that he had dislocated his AC joint but opted not to have an operation as his wife liked the idea of him looking a bit deformed on the beach.
The conversation took a lighthearted turn as they discussed the unconventional pre-match meals they had during their playing days. Redknapp mentioned that they would have a hefty meal of steak and rice pudding before a match, followed by running around on the pitch. The duo laughed about the lack of nutritionists and the outdated practices of their time.
Redknapp also opened up about his experience on the reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” last year. He admitted that he had never watched the show before participating and was surprised by the lack of food on the show, as opposed to his expectations of a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea from a production caravan. Redknapp also shared a touching moment about his wife Sandra’s health struggles and how he feared the worst during his time on the show.
The show also touched upon the famous World Cup of 1990 when Barnes, being the multitalented individual he is, showcased his rapping skills. The “New Order” song was initially thought to be a simple anthem, but someone suggested adding a rap verse. With only six people present, Barnes became the obvious choice and delivered an iconic rap that still resonates with fans today.
