We’re taking it back, way back to 1996.

West Ham manager at the time, Harry Redknapp, was approached by a Hammers fan during a press conference and defended his decision to stick with a young 17-year-old Frank Lampard instead of Scott Canham (who?).

Turns out, Redknapp was right. Lampard will go down as one of the best midfielders of his generation and top England players of his time. Canham (who again?) on the other hand, will forever be a distant memory.

Brilliant stuff, Harry.
