Harry Redknapp believes that football can leave its prints on children as they grow and eventually avoid violence from the youth.
The Tottenham Hotspur boss is worried by the current situation England is facing—as a portion of the youth has rocked London, Birmingham and Manchester United by looting and burning places. According to Redknapp, footballers have responsibilities to assume in order to avoid such ugly scenes and periods in the history of the country.
“I really believe football can help. When I was a young player at West Ham, we used to go into the schools every afternoon and coach kids.
“All the players went including Trevor Brooking, Frank Lampard and me. It was great for us and brilliant for the kids to mix with footballers." "All clubs - including Spurs - do some amazing work in the community.
“But I'd like players to get involved in the hope of making a positive impact on the lives of school children. Something has to be done because clearly, things are not getting any better. We certainly live in worrying times.”
The English Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton fixture had to be called off. The match, which was set to take place this weekend, was cancelled on Thursday morning.
In the news, some have branded the rioting in UK as a war between the government and the youth. It is believed to be the worst civil incident in the history of England as over 100 million pounds have been lost.
