International Career
Terry Venables gave Redknapp his international debut on 6 September 1995 in the 0–0 international friendly with Colombia at Wembley. The game is probably best remembered for his cross that produced René Higuita's famous 'scorpion kick' save.
His only international goal came on 10 October 1999 in the 2–1 friendly victory against Belgium at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland.
Redknapp was capped 17 times for England but played just 39 minutes at a major tournament – during England's Euro 96 campaign. Injury later ruled him out of contention for both the 1998 FIFA World Cup and 2000 UEFA European Championship.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
