Listening to the evidence at his tax-evasion trial every day, it was amazing he ever ended up in a courtroom. The sums of money, given the people involved, were so small, the case for the prosecution so fragile.

But after 13 days of legal wrestling it still came down to 12 members of the public to decide if Redknapp was returning to
that hotel to get his car and drive home or being led away to a prison cell.

The night before the verdict was, he says, horrendous. ‘We went out for dinner. It was John Kelsey-Fry, my barrister, an amazing man, and Jamie and a couple of friends. They knew I was in a bit of a mess. It was a rough night. I didn’t sleep.
It was a nightmare to be honest.
