Nobody can believe Harry Redknapp got this football question wrong on The Chase

There’s not many people in football that know more about the beautiful game than Harry Redknapp.

The former Spurs and QPR has been hanging out of car windows talking about ‘pla’ers’ since before you were old enough to understand the offside rule.

You’d bet your bloody house on old ‘Arry to nail any vaguely football related-question wouldn’t you?

He was asked ‘The tune of The Stars and Stripes Forever’ is used for which football chant?’ by host Bradley Walsh

Redknapp had already managed to bag himself £5,000 in his cash builder round and this question looked to be a gimme.

He had three options: ‘Here We Go’, ‘Glory Glory Man United’ and ‘You’re Not Singing Anymore.’

‘It can’t be Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go, can it, surely?’ he said with the confidence of a man who surely couldn’t be wrong.

But that was of course the right answer, but Redknapp went with Glory Glory, Man United.

Chaser Mark Labbett obviously got the right answer and relished in rubbing Redknapp’s nose in it.
