My most prized possession is Bale's fullback #3 2009 away shirt, my uncle knew I was a Tottenham fan the guy at the store suggested that Bale was a guy to watch so he got it for me. Great memories from a better time
As a spurs fan, just want to say i'm glad that you guys make this video. Harry's era probably the best turning point for Spurs, it made the persona of underdogs at that point and it worked well. I must say he brings the culture and style to Tottenham up till this day, attacking minded football, creative, and equally fast pace. Great video!
@@Hyde_Hill that isn’t to say I entirely disagree with the original comment. Redknapp cemented the level of belief and ambition.....and got us used to those rollercoaster CL nights.
This is a video about my youth. Harry inflicted such emotion in me during these times, the fire of players like Bale, Lennon and VdV offset by some of the players that just tanked; Rebrov, Bentley and the cool indifference of Modric and BAE. Selling Dele was like a final goodbye to that era. We were the most exciting team to watch in that era, really end to end stuff, ultimately falling short of the top top teams. A lot of learning was done though and now Spurs under Conte are shaping up to mount serious challenges.
I love this manager a lot, he wasn't the best tactically. But he knew how to get the most out of players, build a team and saw talent where most didn't.
I think he was pretty outstanding tactically. He knew if he had less quality than the other side, he would use the most quirky of advantages over them to win, such as the height of Peter Crouch, or the speed of Gareth Bale. Redknapp was a world-class manager at his best, but unfortunately we never got to see him thrive, since he was always given tiny budgets and the media were always attacking him.
I almost never comment on videos, but I have to thank you guys for making this one. I am not a Tottenham fan, but this team was part of the Era that made me fall in love with the sport. It was a side that oozed character, elevating the league as a whole. I am glad it's getting the recognition it deserves. I just wish you could have touched more on the characters that made the team what it was. the interpersonal dynamics between Sandro, Defoe, Lennon, Jenas, Pavlyuchenko and the rest made for an amazing show
Watching that Harry Redknapp Side play was beautiful, they played such attractive football . They played so well that I remember the name of that starting 11 despite being a Chelsea fan ! That was a side which could upset any team like the dark horse of premier league .
A couple of things I’d like to add that were somewhat skirted over. 1) Spurs had a deal in place to sign Suarez but Redknapp didn’t want to sign him as he felt he was too similar to VDV. Levy gets a lot of stick for not signing a striker that window but Harry had his chance and he blew it. 2) Harry wanted the England job but England also wanted him. Once his trial was finished England made their move, but Levy wanted £10m in compensation. England refused to pay that, Levy wasn’t budging so the FA moved in to Roy. Redknapp was seething that he had been denied his dream job. This is all out there from open sources. I often talk about this with other Spurs fans when HR comes up. I remember when he took job on. I predicted that he would make Spurs great fun to watch and I was right.
Slight disclaimer on 1) It wasn't him who felt that, it was his scouts that told him that plus that Suarez was not good enough. So he rightly or wrongly trusted his scouts.
I also heard that Harry didn't get the England job due to Trevor Brooking's influence at the FA at the time, and Brooking despises Harry. It's an ongoing conflict. Regarding Suarez, I heard Tim Sherwood and Les Ferdinand deemed him not good enough. We should've known what to expect when Tiny Tim became manager.
@@Hyde_Hill interesting. I’ve only ever heard it from Harry himself describing it as his decision. I suppose, even if he did listen to his scouts, he did make the final decision himself.
What a great era for spurs. So many fond memories of these Redknapp teams. Kabul at the back, Pavliachenko with his heroics against Arsenal, Bale bursting onto the scene and embarrassing Inter, it was all great. It was an essential step to what Spurs became (becoming genuine top four contenders year on year) and to now with Conte. I miss this era though
I was on a school trip to Italy the night Spurs played Inter in the San Siro. Watching us go 4 down with classmates and a few locals laughing at a woeful first half. That second half was one of the best footballing memories I have; a Bale hatrick which underlined the idea that we weren't going to be eliminated and gave us this confidence that anything was possible with this team. And even though we'd lose 4-3 it was obvious at that point who was leaving that first leg in a better mindset. I was always going to support Spurs but nights like that are why I'm so glad I do.
Must admit I’ve been supporting spurs for over 60 years and that game was the one that really gave me heart . After looking like we will be out of our depth playing at this level in the first half a Bale masterclass changed everything . Then when we got back at White Hart Lane with Bale leading we gave ‘em a spanking
I remember those games like it was yesterday. Whenever Bale got the ball I got the same excited lighting shiver down my spine when Rooney played in the 2004 Euros.
Redknapp built the foundations that Poch was able to build on to really break into the top 4. Hopefully Poch laid the groundwork for Conte to get us some silverware now.
Whilst undoubtedly the England and legal saga didn’t help, but like with most Spurs managers in recent years it seems that Harry was restricted by Levy’s chronic underinvestment, buying playing staff on a shoestring, and perhaps until very recently, this hasn’t really changed. Unless Conte finally receives the backing he needs I can see his tenure coming to a very abrupt end.
@@daveoaktowers You can’t blame the manager for the financials of the club that’s not his job account, quantity’s, owners etc the mans a football coach not a bookeeper ffs it’s scapegoatism two of those teams arrogantly banks on money coming in that they didn’t yet cash Portsmouth we’re hoping they’re uefa money would come but didn’t because of there debt and qpr thought they was to good to go down which early on they was
Redknapp was fantastic and he was pivotal in the improvement spurs saw post 2008. The 2nd half of his final season he was abysmal, so I think Redknapp leaving at that point was the correct decision for both parties, but that champions League run will always be special
This was the team that got me into football--Bale was one of my first true sporting heroes. The memories... even that Crouch red card in the UCL quarters brings a smile to my face hahaha.
Would also love a video like this on the Jol era. As one could say he laid the foundations for this success by getting Tottenham consecutive Europa league places and getting them out of the mid table where they where pretty much stuck since the 90s.
I remember those Spurs teams. So fun to watch but defensively naive. Redknapp was an underrated manager all his teams were always exciting to watch (West Ham and Portsmouth included). He also had a great eye for talent. Underrated.
That Spurs midfield made me want to watch Spurs play. Bale, Modric, VdV, Lennon. It was brilliant. And it took some years after it was all finished before I went back to disliking them as north London rivals again 🫣
I loved Spurs under Harry. It was swashbuckling fun at the best of times and he pushed us on. The CL nights of that season will stay in the memories forever
When I think of Harry as a manager I close my eyes and see that Tottenham team they arguably had one of the best midfields in the world at the time and that includes Lennon who was like lightning at the time. Modric at Tottenham and Fabregas at Arsenal were great to watch
Redknapp being kept within financial means meant he was able to achieve far more than say at clubs where it feels he had almost free reign. As a Portsmouth fan he is one of our greatest managers, but remains controversial because of his eagerness to constantly sign better, more expensive players contribute to the financial collapse of the club while in the PL. As he was 'down to bare bones' all the time. He left other clubs in similar positions such as Southampton, QPR and Birmingham
You're right - players which should have been seen as investments like Gary O'Neill and Matt Taylor were sold to make room for bigger names with bigger salaries.
Really fun to look back on those special years. Although it would also be fair to note that Martin Jol was a true stepping stone between the low 90s years and the high of the 2010s that the likes of Redknapp and later Poch would bring
Harry’s tactical qualities were underrated. He doesn’t get enough credit for transforming Modric and Bale into world class players. Bale’s transition from an average full-back to an absolutely beastly winger is known about. But what about Modric? An attacking midfielder / inverted winger playing on the fringes of the game, to a deep-lying playmaker that controls the game. To this day, no midfielder has been able to carry the ball through the middle of the park like Modric, and Harry spotted this talent at a time when a frail body like Modric’s was not risked in the middle of the park (in England, at least). At the end of day, Harry’s tactics were not as intricate as Pep or other possession-based managers, but the direct style he played with wingers staying high and wide was devestating and very tough to defend against. German managers play the same system and it gets called rock and roll football!
I personally think the Harry era was more *fun* to follow than even pochettinos, even though Pochs era was amazing. It was just exciting, heart breaks, high highs, characters, disruptive elements in the squad. Lots of things happened.
I'm not from the UK but watching this side compete in the Prem and UCL with the likes of Dawson, Modric, Bale, Lennon and Defoe made me start following Spurs and here I am ten years later, invested and supporting the club as painful and stressing as it can be. I'm positive next season will be different, Antonio will deliver. COYS.
With Bale and Lennon on the wings, Modric conducting things from the centre, Parker as the holding midfielder and VDV making things happen from that no.10 position, it was some of the best football I've seen a spurs team play and we well could have challenged for the title that year if not for the England fiasco.
I was in Milan for that Bale performance - I'm still seething we only got 2 minutes injury time in both halves. A game with 6 subs, 7 goals, a pen and a red card for a keeper. 4 minutes injury time my arse. Still the best game I've been to, fantastic night in the away end!
The Redknapp era was club-changing. We got into the CL and proved we could compete with the best. But the combination of a lack of investment (Levy didn’t learn from this) and Harry clearly wanting the England job put the coffin in his Tottenham career and left a sour taste in the mouth with thoughts of what could’ve been. Regardless, Redknapp was a success for Tottenham and should be remembered as such.
I loved this Spurs side, they were possibly my favourite team to watch at the time. I've supported Newcastle all my life but still remember this team fondly.
I really wanted to see him make a run in the Champions League, multiple years in a row but we got robbed. I'm LPool fan but I wouldve almost followed Spurs back then.
That Tottenham team was great. I remember seeing a bunch of them in a Thai restaurant in London. Walker, Huddlestone, Lennon and a few others. I was 17 at the time. I remember Walker walking past me and I gave him a little smile and he just looked away like I was a piece of sh!t
I'll never forget that season, nor the brilliant run in the champions league the season after. But a standout memory was the aboslutely thunderous round of appluase redknapp got in the final game of the season against burnley as he walked to his seat in the dugout. we finished the season in a marvelously spursy way by blowing a 2 goal lead to lose 4v2... no one cared a bit!
Poch’s 16/17 Spurs team was one of the most entertaining teams to watch in history! Danny and Kyle bombing the length of the pitch, Dele, Kane, Eriksen all connecting perfectly, Really was a special season that one to send off The Lane one last time 🥲
@@Taskotjoe 16/17 spurs didn't have that underdog spirit at that time. Meanwhile harry's 2011 season was full of suprise, stealing a win over big club every week.
i'm really glad i'm not the only one who thinks redknapp's tottenham was underrated. I particulary enjoyed the period they had Modric, Vander Vaart, Lenon and Bale, etc.
Harry was amazing Manger for us took us from dumps to champions league but his a man that in the end wanted the England job more then the job he had and that was his downfall....
The Harry Redknapp era was my favourite. Always exciting football. Sometimes it backfired but we just just went for it every game. Biggest mistake Engalnd made appointing Hodgson over him. Harry would've inspired that team. Roy, a lovely man and a good tactician but not what that team needed. That England side lacked character.
It was great fun watching that team. Imagine if Ledley had been injury free... well, he'd probably have been at Real Madrid or Barcelona but you can dream!
Can you please do a video about the turbulence going on between Roma AS and Bodø/Glimt now before the second leg in Rome? And maybe please a video about Bodø/Glimt in general?
Always a wonder whether they are underrated or underachieved. But they were very exciting. They were always my go to team on football manager, as they needed just a few improvements to become a great team.
This feels very similar to West Ham’s state at the moment. Moyes built an unlikely power house of a team that can beat Liverpool one week, then bottle it against Wolves the next
My most prized possession is Bale's fullback #3 2009 away shirt, my uncle knew I was a Tottenham fan the guy at the store suggested that Bale was a guy to watch so he got it for me. Great memories from a better time

I'd say the initial turning point came under Jol, however Redknapp took it steps further.

Poch’s 16/17 Spurs team was one of the most entertaining teams to watch in history! Danny and Kyle bombing the length of the pitch, Dele, Kane, Eriksen all connecting perfectly,
Really was a special season that one to send off The Lane one last time 🥲
I agree, the 2011 season was the best season. Perfect pitch in every aspect.
@@Taskotjoe 16/17 spurs didn't have that underdog spirit at that time. Meanwhile harry's 2011 season was full of suprise, stealing a win over big club every week.
i'm really glad i'm not the only one who thinks redknapp's tottenham was underrated. I particulary enjoyed the period they had Modric, Vander Vaart, Lenon and Bale, etc.
I gotta know where they find their lofi background music from.
Might have produced it themselves lol
@@nazarruulhaqi4046 Damn it 😭 Well if they did, they gotta release a playlist or something for the people
I remember played his 8th place finishes Tottenham in PS2 and beat all my friends even though they usually choose the stronger teams..
Big fan of Harry Redknapp. a lot of clubs would have been lucky to have him.
Arry was a cracking manager. We had to wait years for our next decent manager in Poch. Realy don't understand our club at times.
Harry was amazing Manger for us took us from dumps to champions league but his a man that in the end wanted the England job more then the job he had and that was his downfall....
Harry Redknapp and Underrated are words that should never be seen in relation to one another
This is the start of the current Tottenham era! Harry started it all
Martin Jol.......Hold my 🍺
Redknapp's time at Tottenham was the reason they started to catch my eye.
The Harry Redknapp era was my favourite. Always exciting football. Sometimes it backfired but we just just went for it every game. Biggest mistake Engalnd made appointing Hodgson over him. Harry would've inspired that team. Roy, a lovely man and a good tactician but not what that team needed. That England side lacked character.
Best time of my life following Redknapps Spurs side.
1:02 - Bentley such a good player he signed twice.,
People don't realise he is the reason why we are what we are now.
It was great fun watching that team. Imagine if Ledley had been injury free... well, he'd probably have been at Real Madrid or Barcelona but you can dream!
One of their biggest games and fondest memories was getting beat in the San Siro, says it all. 🤷♂️
Small club mentality at it's finest
They won in the San Siro dummy
@@notoriouseagle1074 4-3 inter dumb dumb.
Can you please do a video about the turbulence going on between Roma AS and Bodø/Glimt now before the second leg in Rome? And maybe please a video about Bodø/Glimt in general?
I was at that 4-4 game! My first PL match
Great video 👏
These lot never stop giving
Sir redknapp is the person who make me fall in love with spur until now
excellent video
That was a cracking side.
Always a wonder whether they are underrated or underachieved. But they were very exciting. They were always my go to team on football manager, as they needed just a few improvements to become a great team.
CORRECTION 3:30 Bale scored against both Arsenal and Chelsea in that week
Spurs teams i loved was Martin Jol and Redknapp’s.
This feels very similar to West Ham’s state at the moment. Moyes built an unlikely power house of a team that can beat Liverpool one week, then bottle it against Wolves the next
I'm here for this!
