Harry Redknapp has opened up on the “biggest argument” he had with Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish.
The pair have both enjoyed successful careers as managers in the past, and have also enjoyed the lighter side of the game.
Back in 2008, both Dalglish and Redknapp were in the dugout for Soccer Aid at Wembley Stadium. Dalglish was in charge of the Rest of the World team, while Redknapp managed England.

In the game, England won 4-3 thanks to goals from Teddy Sherringham, Alan Shearer and TV presenter Jonathan Wilkes. Rest of the World’s goals came from Paulo Di Canio and French actor Gilles Marini.
Recalling the match, Redknapp has explained how he and Dalglish had a “row” on the touchline following a substation. The former Tottenham boss said that the Liverpool icon refused to shake his hand because of the disagreement.
“I love Kenny, we are good friends, but we get on the touchline at Wembley and with 10 minutes to go I take Craig David off,” Redknapp told Talksport .
“I put on the lad Gareth Gates. He runs up the wing, comes back and can’t breathe. He’s got an inhaler.
“I’m going ‘are you alright, Gareth?’ He’s got a stammer and couldn’t get the message to me very quickly.
“He wants to come off and I said to Craig to go back on.
“Kenny is there saying ‘what’s your game? You know you can’t put someone on once they’ve come off’.
“I ended up giving him right abuse, we’ve had a row like you’ve never seen and he’s got the Spin Doctor on the bench, Alistair Campbell, and I’ve said ‘you haven’t even put him on’.
“He had a geezer from Chile (Santiago Cabrera) and he hasn’t even given him a game. We had the biggest argument ever and he wouldn’t shake my hand after the game.”
