Harry Redknapp stated that when he was manager "When full internationals came around, two or three players didn't want to go and play for England" (BBC website).
Is this true? If so which players? I only thought we had 2-3 England Internationals in that period and I can't imagine any of them pulling out.
The only thing that I can imagine is that Redknapp does have a habit of embellishing his old stories, maybe Ledley King not wishing to play because of his knee issues turned into 2-3 players. Lennon hasn't appeared to play for England since he was photo'd smoking a cigar after England were knocked out of a tournament, but I didn't think that was really Lennon's choice.
What do people think, is Redknapp telling porkies for attention? If not which players would have refused an England call up?
