Harry Redknapp has recounted how his son Jamie required 24 stitches following a clash with his cousin, Frank Lampard. The incident occurred during a match between Liverpool and West Ham, when Redknapp was managing the Hammers.
Speaking on I'm A Celebrity… South Africa, the former boss revealed that Lampard, then at Chelsea, retaliated after an earlier tackle. Redknapp said: 'Frank caught him with a beauty. They're cousins, you know?'
Jamie Redknapp, now a pundit, gave his version in 2019, stating: 'I remember the following year, we played at White Hart Lane and I know he didn't mean it - well, he said he didn't - he got me back. I got a nice 20 stitches on my lip.'
Despite the incident, the pair remain on good terms, with Lampard pursuing a managerial career and Jamie enjoying success in media.
