Soccer Aid players ignore Redknapp's 7pm curfew and hit the bar for karaoke sessions

Harry Redknapp’s bid to impose discipline on his celebrity squad ahead of tomorrow's Soccer Aid match went badly wrong.

The England coach warned that any players found in the hotel bar after 7pm would miss the UNICEF charity clash with the World XI, raising money for children in poverty around the world.

But today Harry, 76, admitted his hardline approach had failed. He said: “I’m very strict. I locked them up in their rooms – but they all escaped.”
