Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara rues ignoring some valuable advice offered by Harry Redknapp.

O'Hara recalled advice which Redknapp gave him not long after making his debut for Spurs - and his own mistake in choosing to ignore it.

He told the Independent: “I made some mistakes in terms of being too public profile, definitely.

“Harry Redknapp warned me about that a long time ago. I didn't take his advice, and actually I should have.

“Because it was probably the best advice he gave me.

“'Stay out of the public eye. You're a footballer, be a footballer.'

“And at that stage, I was young, I was going out with Miss Great Britain. I wanted to be the next David Beckham. It didn't work out like that."
