JAMIE REDKNAPP: Pushing Euro 2020 back to next summer could still play out well for Harry Kane... the England captain no longer needs to rush himself back from injury

It was 20 years ago on Wednesday that, after coming back from four months on the sidelines, I was brought off the bench against Newcastle by Gerard Houllier.

I'd been itching to get on — and wasn't too happy with Houllier for taking so long.

I was made Liverpool captain ahead of 1999-2000 but had to have knee surgery midway through the season and was left with a feeling of helplessness. I'm sure Harry Kane has been experiencing that, too. He is one of Tottenham's leaders, and England captain, but he has not been able to play since New Year's Day.
