Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson says Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp would be great for England.

Redknapp remains favourite for the job.

"Only Harry can decide if he wants it," Johnson told the Daily Mail.

"All I can say is that he's a fantastic man, a great manager. He has helped me a lot. At the age of 15 he believed in me and gave me the chance to train and play with the first team. He helped my family out a lot when I was growing up. All that side of it.

"Then he signed me again at Pompey and that was when I played for him properly. He has always had faith in me and that's welcoming. Not everyone has."
