Harry Redknapp
About
Harry is one of football’s greatest characters. He is a former English footballer who has enjoyed a long career in football management starting in 1983 with Bournemouth.
Henry James “Harry” Redknapp (born 2 March 1947) has previously managed Bournemouth, West Ham United, Portsmouth (twice) and Southampton. While in his second spell at Portsmouth, he managed the side that won the 2008 FA Cup. At the conclusion of the 2009–10 season he guided Tottenham into the UEFA Champions League for the very first time. Harry subsequently oversaw Spurs’ progress to the last 16 of that tournament when defeating German side Werder Bremen at home. They were the only new club to have qualified for the next stage of the competition and went on to top their group ahead of holders Inter Milan. Harry then helped his team beat AC Milan over two legs to reach the quarter-finals.
Harry is witty and charismatic and a wonderful after dinner speaker.
