The Spice BoysJamie Redknapp was shagging Emma Noble, James Major's ex-wife. This was back in 1998/98. I'm from a town in the North West and some of the Liverpool footballers (Redknapp, Jason McAteer, Danny Murphy are the ones I can remember) used to drink there sometimes. A lad I was seeing at the time was really friendly with Danny Murphy and he told him. It was common knowledge amongst the players.
So, he's always been a bleep. A nice looking bleep but a bleep all the same.
Personally, I think ALL footballers are just one seedy hotel room away from a rape allegation. And I have absolutely NO doubt that it goes on every weekend - it's just all covered up by money and their clubs.
Quite surprised to see my little nugget on Redknapp wasn't on that Digital Spy thread
