‘Arry angered by sock butchery
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is said to launched a dressing room rant at his players over their new craze for cutting the feet off their socks.
Football’s latest fashion fad has seen many Premier League players opting to play in tennis-style ankle socks, believing it gives them better traction inside their boots. But they need to retain the top half of the socks to keep clubs and match officials happy.
Players are wearing a tubular section of the official socks as a pair of sporty suspenders above their tennis socks, and then using masses of tape to hide the illicit white socks.
Redknapp has reportedly seen enough of his squad taking pairs of scissors to their socks and was tipped over the edge when a referee informed him that Spurs’ taping skills were not up to scratch ahead of a recent match.
