@@joeyeleven8997 crachy, bobby zamora, nico krankjar.. herman heridason top top twiffic players... well ya know
i could listen to these stories all day
@Pat Mahon hehehe reckon at one point he probably said the opposite about lampard
You need a job mang
Ill hi x jk hjxjhhhh
Snap 👏
Audiobook it n we might'Ave a ill earner here for ourselves
Redknapp and Warnock need their own show on Sky
Not a bad combo. Saint and Greavsie part 2.
YES........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There needs to be show with all the old retired managers like harry, sir Alex and others in on some nice arm chairs sipping some good spirits or wine telling there football stories.
Great call
Forward Slash that would actually be a good idea
I'm surprised Harry didn't bring niko krankcar on with him
chef jamie and crouchy and Defoe and hermann hradisson
😂
😂 he did like kranjcar
Was waiting for him to start talking about him in detail but never happened
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahgahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Now this is quality content. I love these transfer specials and Harry is always interesting to listen to in this environment.
He's like one of the cray twin lol, ey arry was up!, what a great character love him, brilliant talk.
The last world class manager this country ever produced. What he did at Spurs and Portsmouth should never be underestimated.
If one ever needed evidence that the term "world class" is thrown about too easily these days.
@@MrGts92 lol madness, he probably never even watched that Portsmouth team let alone the spurs team
He spent a lot of money at Portsmouth. Over both spells that's what ruined the club
@@glennoconnor1130 his spurs team played better football and was more exciting to watch than any spurs team since. Won the fa Cup with Portsmouth. Portsmouth. If u tell me the players he signed made them capable at that time to win it then u never watched either. World class maybe not, but definitely undervalued in the eyes of some, especially yours as u seem to think the title of world class is madness...
Yes the job he did a spurs was amazing. Used to love to watch them.
I know obviously he's his uncle, but to receive such support from your manager at such a young age must be such a fantastic feeling.
26:57 Andrés D'Alessandro - Was an absolute machine on Championship Manager too!
Graham Randall cracking wee player! Always a player I signed no matter who I managed in champ man! Greatest football game ever 😉😝👍
@@ianmcdonald3053 In my opinion, they've struggled to replicate Championship Manager since the separation/release of Football Manager. It's why so many people play the updated version of Championship Manager today! That and possibly it's free now :P
Graham Randall yes your right, I still play the 01/02 season, it’s just got the perfect blend, I haven’t bought Football manager in years, used to like the PSP version! I feel for me there’s just way to much to do, a few games can take forever, even buying a player takes forever. Champ man was detailed enough and you weren’t drained or overwhelmed by all the little things that takes too long, you know what I’m getting at, you’ve obviously played it. I’d been playing since the released champ man 93 which I still play quite regularly as well! It’s the nostalgia of all the greats, keeps me going back!
@@ianmcdonald3053 You've been playing a lot longer than I have, my first game was CM01/02 hence why it holds very fond memories.
I know what you mean, FM had far too much detail and not so many quality of life updates. They should've made it subscription-based and just made data updates, as the £50 they charge these days is ludicrous. That's the reason I no longer play the FM series - FM18 being my last purchase! I have every addition of CM & FM from 01/02 - FM18!
Graham Randall MATEEEEEE LIKE SO MANY GREAT MOMENTS 😂😂
What a memory Harry’s got. I could listen for hours. Great storyteller!
That Wilson Palacios story is amazing/ heartbreaking.... would love to hear him and Harry talk about their careers
He was a player and won I thought would be a success Dani Portuguese international.. seen him at Ajax ripped rangers apart.. but he started well at West ham looked class.. but ended up liking women more than football.. Portsmouth prosineski.. Croatian legend ex Barcelona real Madrid.. guy was great at Portsmouth
44:19 Had to stop himself calling Levy a wheeler dealer after 'that' interview 🤣
🤣🤣
Word 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I saw that too 😂😂😂
@44:10 "He likes to wheel n deal"
Bom dia.muito interessante.
Mas gostei de ouvir 👍
I remember Harry saying a few years ago that Lampard would make a great manager and on the day that he does if he wants, he will drop anything he's doing and be his number 2. It's a shame that didn't happen. Harry would be perfect at Chelsea right now. His experience would help Lampard and his man management skills would work wonders on the young British players they've got.
I think Jody Morris is doing a fine job. Harry is past it.
@@esinach You cant teach time and Lamps and Jody don't have that many minutes in the Premier League. Harry may be past it as a manager but any young guy should kill to have a guy like Harry step down and be their number two. Plus they're family. He's his uncle and will probably kill himself to see his nephew succeed. and all the other stuff about nurturing young players...
I don't think Lampard has ever publicly given Harry the credit he deserves
more bollocks nostalgia shoehorning tbh.
Chelsea should give Frank a part time role cause of his age etc. His knowledge would be ideal in some role or another. If it didnt work then fine, you dont know until you find out.
Frank Lampard's face in that clip. Fair play 2 harry.
When Harry said “we went to Middlesbrough and kanu scored two goals” gave me shivers I was at that game! Wounded as a Boro fan but mad to remember it I was only 14
got to love Harry:
"You know, transfer deals how they're done, I met Eden in a hotel in Paris and he was up for coming to Tottenham"
one sentence later: "As a manager you don't go into meetings with players"
Harry has had talks with every team owner and top player in Europe
one of the first and only 50 minute sky video i've watched from start to finish. Fantastic man of the game, amazing the accolades this man could shout about regarding his comments in football. You've got to cherish these sorts of people; keep well Harry!
Loved him managing Spurs. He really started things for us. Our fans harp on about Poch but it was Arry that built that club. He started that whole team spirit thing we had going.
I like to imagine Niko Kranjčar is sitting on the right on the couch, just outside the camera.
With crouchy. The Redknapp boys😂
"I'm not over ambitious or a dreamer."
That's how you get the job as Spurs manager.
To funny!
Excellent watch, what a really nice guy Harry is.
yeah, great guy, taking bungs all through his career and getting paid to do charity work.
Yeeee hez a top top playaa
Dan Crayford you stole my words
Billy Bonds wouldn’t agree with you. Personally I’d side with Bonzo all day long
So nice that he made 20 vunerable people go homeless
Yooo... These transfer talk specials are a joy to watch. You learn so much about things us fans and spectators do not generally get to witness and therefore brings a level of 'justice' as to why and how things happen. Great! Great! Great
When Harry talks...I listen! SIMPLE
Could listen to harry all day every day would love to have a few beers with him
Harry was a fantastic manager, everyone who has watched football in his era of management has asked the million dollar question, what would he of done with a big club, a Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea. He got the spurs job and no one can argue he put them back on the map, did an amazing job! People speak of Poch like he was a messiah or had introduced football to spurs fans. Always find that so disrespectful to Harry. England really missed out not appointing Harry, I really believe he would of reached a final if not won it, purely off his man management. Roy is another quality manager, did things a little different but he didn’t have that east end patter, he could get a tune out of a stringless guitar 😝 Harry is right people love a pat on the back and he did better than anyone in English football with the exception of Sir Alex. The game needs characters like Harry, he retired too soon! Imagine if he had went out of his comfort zone and headed north! He held himself back but then he loved his family and what they had, you can’t fault that! I could listen Harry all day. Would love to have a dinner with him, big Sam and Fergie!
Did Redknapp put Spurs on the map? Martin Jol did all the heavy lifting to get Spurs heading into the right half of the table, and him and Frank Arnesson signed that nucleus of young English talent that served them so well. Just because Juande Ramos failed spectacularly, though he did win a cup, shouldn't erase Jol's progress.
I'll always be bemused the FA didn't appoint him in 2012. I get why Hodgson was & at a more stable/boring time would've been a solid choice, but after two high profile foreign coaches not quite getting it done & the shambles that was McClaren, that appointment needed to be an exciting English one & he was that guy! His style of management was perfectly suited to International Football too - keep it simple, be a good mouthpiece, blow smoke up backsides to satisfy egos. Along with the wheeler dealer stuff that was his whole thing lol
Harry is the best personality in football. What a kind and humble man. His judgement and vision for players was second to none. He saw the potential in some of the world’s best ever players - Lampard, Crouch, Bale, Modric to name a few. Legend
From an Arsenal Fan, West Ham did produce some quality players in the 1990s, Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Defoe, Micheal Carrick, and Lampard.
How has this amazing man not been England manager.
Because he’s not a yes man.
He's not an amazing man he's actually quite a horrible person
Based on?
Listening to Harry is amazing! What stories he has to tell and how well he tells them!
At 44:15 Harry literally has to stop himself calling Levy a 'wheeler dealer'.
Connor Foley was thinking thats the term he wanted to use😂
Great interviewer! Asking pertinent questions and having the grace to let Harry give an honest assessment without being interrupted.
Thank you Sky that was a great watch, even for an Arsenal fan I must say bloody love Harry! One of the Greatest English Managers of the modern era
Love Harry Redknapp, love the way he managed Spurs. Great manager, great person...
Always liked Redknapp. Says a lot about him how loved his players personally and give his insight to what sort of men they were. He stood his ground and backed Lampard like a father would. The Palacios story was news to me and you can tell how much time he had for him personally regardless of where his career went afterwards. Could listen to these all day.
Love Harry, great stories.
HR - An absolutely genuine lovely bloke. Top manager, proper geezer. Legend 👍
The original wheeler and dealer! Loved watching him buying all the good players and fitting them into a team. His team play some great attacking football too. Wished he was still managing. Fantastic manager.
Love listening to Harry Redknapp, would have loved to see him coach/manage England.
Seems like all these football personalities are giving their best interviews in this time of lockdown 💯
Fabregas, redknapp, carra, neville...
I miss Harry managing a team in the prem! Excellent manager and great person.
The type of guy you wanna work for.
Great insight into the best character in management
Pure legend. Didn’t know that he could have got shevchenko for West Ham at 18 years old!! Definitely one that got away!!
I love this man. What a wonderful human being.
What about Harry?
Terrific character
Can't think of any other manager I'd want to play under more than Harry Redknapp.
I'm an arsenal man but I love the don Harry! He is a gem of a fella, I love that lampard interview way back in the west ham days. Harry is a genius and what a personality he has. Big respect and love for the big Don Harry redknapp.
What an underrated and overlooked manager and person harry is
The FA failing to make Harry the England boss because of their own selfish reasons is a disgrace they'll always carry. The feel good factor alone I think could have got us to a Semi Final maybe the final. Doubt we'd have won it though.
Ryan G he would of got the best out of defoe , instead of useless Roy who played Andy Carroll and Danny Welbeck
If the FA can carry their guilt about not making Brian Clough the England manager then Harry Redknapp should be a breeze. The rumour was that they passed on Redknapp because of his reputation for financial irregularities, which was what lost Terry Venables the job. ... So then they appoint Big Sam.
Have to agree with you Ryan. I think Harry could have got England to a final, ive no doubt about that, his man management was amazing. That’s something the English team has been really lacking over the past 20 years at least.
@@hughtube5154 lmfaoooo at the last part
Man's a Legend. The world is a better place with this gent.
Gary Cahill is very underrated him and Terry together was so good!! He'll of a bargain 7 mill
Gotta love ‘Arry. Such an underrated manager and a lovely fella. Great stories I could listen to him for ages.
Also. kanu! Thee single best footballer I've ever witnessed.
And when he dropped the Stoke keeper in the league cup .. Sneaky Teasing cant. Different Gravy
The Sky transfer comments were very illuminating. Showed exactly how caring a human being Mr Redknapp is.
What a brilliant interview also maximum respect to Dhamesh sheth he just let Harry talk and weave his way through,you just cant buy that type of experience
I watched that fan forum and it struck me that even as a 17 year old what a class act Frank Lampard is, and still is. Sad that West Ham couldn't hang on to him and Rio and Joe Cole. Same, of course, with Southampton who could have been a top team had most of the players not gone to Liverpool.
i love harry redknapp he's a guy you could listen to all day at this point i wonder how he's not Sir Harry Redknapp
That story about Wilson Palacios. Wow. Before he was just a name on my match attax cards back in the day but hearing stories like that give it all a new perspective
Legend Harry, old school and genuine. He's the kind of man and manager, that if a young boy turned up at the gates of the ground un-announced with his boots in his hands... Harry would give him a game on the training field with the seniors, a chance. Like Don Revie did famously with Terry Cooper.
West Ham LEGEND. When I think of my favorite West Ham memories, nearly all of them are when Harry was our man. The FA should have made him England manager.
"Walked into a terrible terrible terrible team..."
*Googles the team line up for that year*
abs same here mate :D
He's said it like 20 times 😂😂😂😂 they must have been really bad
As a Pompey fan - they were awful. We had a better side in the year we won league 2.
@@TomPFC How has he now received in the South coast due to his allegiances with both the sides ?
@@SeriousBartYTWell, he took us up to the Premier league, went covert to send them down, stayed 1 year to make sure they didn't bounce back up then returned to win the fa Cup with us. 😂
Almost calls Levy a 'Wheeler Dealer' then stops himself 😂
Redknapp charged £80k for this interview but all proceeds will go to Cuppa Charity!
80k.. no pictures then
Less Rosies cut.
Harry was just one of those managers who must have been an absolute pleasure to play for. His West Ham, Portsmouth and Spurs sides were all amazing to watch. Shame he had to go to Portsmouths biggest rivals and relegate them only to go back and win the F.A Cup. He also done my club a turn and sold us Pedro Mendes for 3 million. An absolute steal.
They need to do managers in this American Hall of fame bollox we do now. Harry didn't win alot but he's a legend fo show
He comes across as an absolute football man through and through. A man who I could listen to all day
What he said at 10:43, the world needs more mentors like this.
As a kid, watching the game Harry was a west ham legend and we was rightfully his claret & blue army. What he brought to the club in his time was brilliant. Getting his signature as a kid was brilliant, he was brilliant with the fans.
A proper coach and nice to hear he actually knows what players are good and bad.
Such a good storyteller to listen to
Like or dislike him Redknapp has lived a fascinating life in football and is much more candid about what goes on than most ex players and managers, which is why he’s always great to listen to.
triffic interview.
He made Modric and Bale by switching their positions.
Over the past two days, I’ve been going through so many of these interviews. All quality content. Thank you!
Rovers, Bolton and Portsmouth ... those were the days
Harry Redknapp is incredibly interesting to listen to. Thanks for this. Quality content. We need more of this kind of thing.
Love Harry interviews. Proper get sucked in and enjoy listening to every word. Great story teller.
11:37 Some may say John Terry too since he was a West Ham Youth Player.
Reporter massive respect for not wearing shoes inside.
Love Harry, he did wonders for spurs, loved watching his team play at Spurs, sad day when he went
What a great watch, find it fascinating listening to Harry talk about anything football related.
Not having Harry as the England manager was the biggest disgrace ever to English football & I'm a Scotsman.
He would have taken that team to another level with Lampard, Rooney, Gerard, etc etc.
The big wigs at the F.A. need a slap for that haha
Just seeing the picture of that fa cup winning Portsmouth. They had some players man!! Back when big strong and athletic dominated the prem. James in goal, lassana diara, diops, cambells.....
The England team and the England fans deserved Harry. FA did their usual. Not to different from the Brian Clough episode
God damn why did that Wilson Palacios story hit me so hard! What a man
Respect beyond respect
Harry Redknapp English footballing legend always be thankful for what he did for us at Spurs
Kranjcar was one of those Croatian players that was really good at the time but people forget about today
this man got stories for ages i love it
I don’t necessarily like Harry for his alleged “dodgy dealings” but I’ll give him his due he was nice to me and my dad back in summer of 1997 we’d just come back from Barbados and were hanging around Heathrow waiting for our connecting flight to Jersey. I saw him walk past us and, being big West Ham fans, we started having a chat with him. He stopped for a good five to ten minutes to have a chat with us, he’d just come back from scouting a player in Rome. Anyway he went on his way and we went ours. Later that summer we’d got tickets to go and watch Wimbledon in one of the first home games of the season, Princess Diana died later that day. Before that my dad had written a letter (snail mail) to Harry thanking him for taking the time to chat to us and asking, as we were coming over for the game, if we could sort a stadium tour or something. Harry wrote back almost immediately, words to the effect of “cant do you a stadium tour because it’s the day of the game but I can do you one better than that, how about you come into the dressing room before the game and meet the team?” Unbelievable really, so we rock up at Upton Park with our letter from Harry and they usher us in to the changing room and in comes Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard etc. As a 17 year old kid I was just awestruck, I’ll be forever grateful to Harry for giving us that experience.
If more people were like Harry, the world would be a better place. Top top man 👍
What a legend! What a great guy! HARRY HARRY HARRY ! 😀😃😄😁
No mention of Titchy Shayev? The bulgarian striker?
Who
He should still be a premier league manager he would be great for the English game absolute legend
One of the best listens that. What a lovely bloke Harry really is!!
Harry's div 1 winning team played my home town Newquay in a pre season friendly. I jumped the wall and sat in the stand .looked to my left and I was sitting next to Harry and Jim Smith. Such a nice guy
Top man. Seems to be a genuine man.
Quality watch, Harry deserves far more respect, top manager.
Jeezus, im a Celtic fan and love DiCanio but watching that video of Harry defend a very young Lampard was class. Ive always liked Harry.
fantastic stories. loved every minute of it!!
I've read several footy biographies and it's interesting how some of the greatest players to ever play the game, had countless doubters to begin with. Players such as Modric, Ibrahimovic, Pirlo, Lampard, Kante Drogba and even Ronaldo. The same doubters now praise them lol.
So happy Lampard proved those fans wrong lol.
Harry's comments about Lampard in that clip was cosmic.
phoned him up in 83 asked him if he wanted me to play for bournemouth. he thought it was a joke.............shame....things could have been so different.
Be nice to people on the way up because you meet them on the way down. Wise words.
