Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp, whose career was blighted by a series of injuries, has broken more records off the pitch in a suit than in a football jersey.

Redknapp who regularly appears on the Sky One show - 'A League of Their Own', has attempted to break numerous records live on TV, with most of them not pertaining to the beautiful game.

But earlier this year, he did attempt a football related record when he successfully broke Theo Walcott's Highest altitude football dropped and controlled record, by setting a new number to beat by controlling the ball from a height of 38.92 m (127 ft 8 in).

He ended up with a broken wrist in his attempts, but showed determination to finally earn the certificate of honour.
