Harry Redknapp

[Yorkshire Blue]

Was it filed under fiction?

From an extract on the Beeb, he was bemoaning how it isn't like it was when he was growing up with kids kicking a ball about on the streets until dark.

This method was so successful in producing footballers that Redknapp's generation twice failed to qualify for the World Cup in 1974 and 1978 (Redknapp was 27 and 31 respectively and therefore in its prime).


Anyway, there's a review here in the Torygraph.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Redknapp in his book: "Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney texted me."
Redknapp under oath: "I can't work a mobile phone."

JUDGE!

It's ok, his dog handles his phone calls, text messages and emails.

Well of course not, they put on the floodlights and our players were blinding from being used to playing in the dark. Duh.

Arguably Hodgson has had top European jobs.

Inter Milan twice and Liverpool. Two of the biggest clubs in Europe for Roy Hodgson.

Edit: Damn, too slow, never saw Yorkie beat me to it.

LOL @ Liverpool.

If you're including Liverpool he's also managed Malmo, Udinese, Copenhagen and Grasshoppers.

Plus England are the fourth international side he's managed.

Haven't seen a CV that good from an English manager since my Championship Manager days.

So funny on so many levels.

Harry is just carressing the ball with his cheek and the bloke in the white shirt is so amazed at how well he has cushioned it he seems to be soiling himself.

 

[Ricey]

I want that picture blown up and put on my wall!

 

[Jam_Man]

Reading his book and its a whos who of Southend managers in there, we get a fair mention as well especially around the Bobby Moore time.

He had the opportunity to come here at one point.

Best story so far is him signing a player from Nuneaton where Barry Fry was in charge. The player was in talks to sign for Spurs for 200k but Harry found out he didnt even have a contract so just signed him up for Bournemouth for nothing. Barry Fry rang him and said he was going to send two blokes round to blow his knee caps off. He then turned up at Bournemouth with the chairman and another bloke and Harry and his assistant ran away out the back door. :smile:
