The 47-year-old said:

“When I was a Bournemouth player, I’d gone to see Southampton without any issues. So, I thought as a young Liverpool player I could go and see Everton, too. Big mistake! 

“I wore a baseball cap and hoped no one would spot me in the Goodison Road stand, but after 10 minutes I was hit on the head with a meat pie and someone yelled, 'F**k off Redknapp.'”

“To be honest, it was a fantastic shot – what precision, right on the side of the head! I got hit by another pie a few minutes later, so just had to sit there drenched in gravy and meat. We left at half-time.”

He also talked about the first time he joined Liverpool at the age of 17:

“The first time I got on the team bus to go to training, all the players blanked me – cold stares from Alan Hansen, Ronnie Whelan and Steve McMahon,” he says. “No one offered me a seat, but I realized what was happening – you had to earn their respect. As the kid, you can’t say, ‘Oh f**k off, let me sit down’.” “I was dying inside, but you had to put on a brave face and show you deserved to be there. You had to fight your corner. John Barnes rescued me on that coach.”
