The English football manager is putting former football stars including Matt Le Tissier and Robbie Fowler through their paces for his new show 'Harry's Heroes: The Full English' and is convinced his team would climb to the top of the Premier League, past the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham.

He said: "They'd win the Premier League this group. A forward line of Chris Waddle, Matt Le Tissier, Robbie Fowler and Paul Merson - what would Manchester United or anyone else give you for that forward line today?"

The former football stars - which also includes Chris Waddle, Rob Lee, Ray Parlour, Lee Sharpe, David Seaman, Steve Howey, Mark Chamberlain and Mark Wright - have been tasked with losing weight and getting back into shape before they take on a German side on the pitch.

Harry added to the Metro newspaper: "Matt Le Tissier has lost 10 kilos, his body fat has come down unbelievably, but they all have. Only Razor I think has put on weight. He's been splitting his shorts."

The show was a wake up call for Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, who was told he was at a risk of having a stroke or heart attack.

Dr Enam Abood told the former footballer on the show: "Your good cholesterol is weak and your bad cholesterol is higher than it. Given your lifestyle, we've got to do something drastic about that. If I don't intervene, you are at a risk of having a heart attack and a stroke."
