What a year! Harry Redknapp's first interview since leaving Spurs, on heart surgery, THAT court case, the England saga and leaving a club he loved
Coaching: Redknapp helped Luka Modric to become the player he is today

‘I remember going to Fulham, when I was manager of Bournemouth and Liverpool were playing an FA Cup game. I was with my chief scout Stuart Morgan when Joe Fagan comes and sits in front of us. It was about five minutes into the game and we were thinking “This will be interesting”. But then some old boy shouts over to Joe. It’s some old mate of his. They were in the army together. And they sat talking for 40 minutes.

‘At half-time Joe disappears downstairs. Liverpool are winning 2-0. And Stuart says: “What’s he going to say to his players? He hasn’t been watching.”

‘I said: “What does he need to say? He’s got Graeme Souness, Dalglish, Hansen...’

Would Redknapp take the England job if it became available again? ‘No,’ he says. ‘I’m 65. It’s gone now. By the time it comes up again it will be too late for me. I wouldn’t be interested.’

Presumably he wouldn’t lose any sleep over it, either.
