Harry Redknapp, English football's most renowned wheeler dealer, included an embarrassing oversight in his Telegraph column, tipping 25-time Jamaica international Wes Morgan for an England call-up.

Like many, Redknapp has been left impressed by Morgan's leadership and uncompromising defending at the back for surprise package Leicester City this season, but wasn't aware that the Nottingham-born 32-year-old has been representing The Reggae Boyz since 2013.

talkSPORT's Geoff Peters pointed out the Derby County football advisor's gaffe:

Leicester incredibly sits seven points clear atop the Premier League with six matches remaining, and continues its unexpected pursuit of the title at Sunderland next Sunday.
