English football veteran Harry Redknapp pokes fun at Malta national football team

A recent TikTok published by global sports platform BT Sport shows English former football manager and player Harry Redknapp mock the Maltese national team ahead of a Premier League restart.

Redknapp was discussing how he lost interest in international football, recalling how England win game after game but render little to no results in international tournaments before he took a subtle jab at Malta.

“I’ll be honest with you, I hear the commentator go, we’re playing Malta. He goes, this number 18. He works at the checkout counter during the week at the supermarket. And I think, what am I watching this for?”

The English football veteran goes on to express his enthusiasm towards the Premier League, but his comment wasn’t well-received amongst Maltese football fans, who understand the grit and determination it takes to play at that level locally.

On Thursday, Malta suffered at 2-1 loss at the hands of North Macedonia during the Euro 2024 qualifiers. Yannick Yankam scored in his debuting match as Malta continues its Euro campaign.
