Jamie Redknapp was part of a group of players at Liverpool known as the Spice Boys (alongside Collymore, Fowler, McManaman, and McAteer). During his long career at Anfield (1991-2002) he made a total of 237 appearances and scored 30 goals. In 2000, at the age of 27, a persistent injury in Redknapp’s knee began to hinder his career. He was left out of England’s Euro 2000 campaign, and went to the United States for surgery. Despite receiving the required surgery, he was never able to return to the game at the same level. After short stints at Tottenham and Southampton, he was forced retired at the age of 32.Best All-Round Knee Support for Football Winner:Ultimate Performance Wraparound Runner's Knee Support Strap Hinged knee braces offer the highest level of support. They have solid metal supports down the sides which are hinged at the knee joint to allow movement. Whilst they give the greatest support, they are a little more restrictive than stabilised knee supports or simple elastic/neoprene knee sleeves. Work on range of motion (about a week after initial injury), which should be near normal except for extreme ranges. Athletes should then work on strengthening the injury, progressing from isometrics (no movement) to concentric (shortening) and eccentric (lengthening) movements. But if a hinged knee brace is a necessity for your knee then you should look for a brace which comes with padding to cover the metal hinges. LP provides a wide range of knee supports which can also help with running, skiing and most sports related injuries. A good quality support can aid in recovery as well as provide protection from further injuries.

Specifically speaking about the knee; training the knee to stay out of the "at risk" position is key. ACL tears occur when the knee is extended and rotated and if we can train our body's to stay in a bent knee position that will significantly reduce the risk of a ligament injury. Fast forward a couple years through college and post undergrad I still can’t play soccer confidently and my strikes are no where near as powerful as the were pre surgery. I’ve gone through so many braces, sleeves, kinesiology tape, you name it to find more support and comfort that it has just become exhausting and expensive. I still find mobility is an issue and during the game I am always doubting the stability within my knee. I feel I will always be a step under my past potential until i can feel comfortable that my knee has the support it needs. Despite the heights that Ronaldo reached, his career was also blighted with injury. Ronaldo would suffer three serious knee injuries between 1999 and 2008. The most devastating injury for the player was in 2008. While playing for A.C. Milan, Ronaldo ruptured his kneecap ligament in his left knee for the third time. This caused him to miss the rest of the season and ultimately be released by the club. Three years later he would retire. Simple elastic knee supports offer the lowest level of support. They are often a simple elastic compression sleeve. Although the support level is lowest they are ideal immediately after a joint injury where cold therapy and compression is the priority.

However, due to the wide range of braces and supports available FIFA cannot apply a blanket rule, meaning the decision of whether a brace is suitable is down to each individual referee.
