6. Jamie Redknapp
Jon Buckle/EMPICS SportLife's been pretty sweet for Jamie Redknapp after he ended his footballing career. He's a frequent pundit on Sky Sports, has a column in the Daily Mail, and he's still married to Louise. We think. But it was at Liverpool that he cemented his reputation as a midfielder to be reckoned with, signed up by Kenny Dalglish in 1991 after seeing him play just thirteen games for Bournemouth. King Kenny saw something, and there was certainly something there. Despite often being blighted by injury himself - and, along with Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler, being as popular off the pitch as on as one of the so-called Spice Boys - Redknapp was a brilliant player for Liverpool, with a keen eye and passing skill that has rarely been imitated in the Premier League (more's the pity), and he had a long and fruitful career with the club. Things peaked with the 1998-99 season where he scored ten goals, and the following season where he was made captain following the departures of McManaman, Paul Ince and John Barnes. It was after that that injury really dragged Redknapp, forcing him to miss out on Liverpool's 2001 FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup treble wins. Eventually he decided to leave the Kop after 308 caps and 41 goals, settling at Spurs on a free transfer. In 49 appearances he scored four goals before joining his dad at Southampton, where he was rarely match fit, before deciding to throw in the towel at age 31.
