redknapp has received significant attention for his repeated overuse and misuse of the word "literally", in quotes such as "he literally chopped him in half in that challenge", "alonso and sissoko have been picked to literally sit in front of the back four", "drogba literally destroyed senderos today", "in his youth, michael owen was literally a greyhound", "he had to cut back inside onto his left, because he literally hasn't got a right foot", "martin jol's head is literally on the chopping block" and "these balls now – they literally explode off your feet". in 2010, he was presented with the foot in mouth award from the plain english campaign for his poor use of english.
