Jamie Redknapp joins The Wave for an honest, wide-ranging conversation on football, family and life at the very top of the game. From the iconic Euro 96 Dentist Chair celebration and night out with Paul Gascoigne, to captaining Liverpool and growing up on the South Coast, Jamie shares stories and insights you won’t hear in the usual interviews. He opens up on what it was like playing in one of England’s most talked-about squads, the reality of life inside a Premier League dressing room, and how he’s navigated the transition into life as a pundit - including the fine line between honest opinion and dressing room loyalty. There’s also a personal side to the conversation, as Jamie reflects on growing up around football, being one of the most sought-after young players in the game, and what it means to have his dad, Harry Redknapp, both as a father and a manager - describing him as a “genius”. This is what The Wave is about, real conversations, proper stories and the human side of football.
