Football legend Harry Redknapp wore fortunate lingerie throughout 20-game unbeaten run

Footie legend Harry Redknapp wore the same lucky undies for 11 games on the trot.

The superstitious gaffer insisted on wearing “exactly” the same clobber after a win or draw.

And Harry, 73, said it wasn’t just important to wear the same suit, shirt and tie – but also the same pants and socks. He was worried that if he changed his clothes, he’d bring about a streak of bad luck on the pitch.

“I wore the same suit, shirt and pants for 20-odd games unbeaten (10 games first and then 11 games).”

Fans can still find some of the games on YouTube – and see he was wearing the same gear each time.

Harry has teamed up with sports entertainment firm Sorare to challenge punters to “do a better job” during the Euros in free-to-play game Sorare Rivals.
