Former West Ham and Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp runs over wife in freak accident
Posted Friday, October 21, 2016 by Dreamteamfc.com
Harry Redknapp's wife Sandra has been seriously injured after the former Spurs manager ran over her.
The 69-year-old dragged his partner along with road after his wife got her foot caught inside the ex-West Ham gaffer's car.
Redknapp had been dropping Sandra off at the shops in Bournemouth, according to The Sun, but got her coat trapped in the foot and was seriously injured on Wednesday afternoon.
One local said: "I was in a shop and a couple of people came in and said, 'Crikey, there's a lady who's been dragged along the road'.
"Then someone else came in and said it was Harry Redknapp who had just dropped his wife off.
"I heard as he drove off she got her coat caught in the door. She was dragged along the road before he realised.
"I think she has been badly injured."
Sandra yelled out in pain - and Harry put on the brakes - but not before the damage was done.
One witness said: "There was a lot of blood on the tarmac and Harry was beside himself.
"It was just a freak accident."
Another shopper said: "I was told Harry pulled up to let his wife out but before she had completely got out, he went to pull away and she fell over.
"He moved his car out of the way so the ambulance could get to her and then he got in the ambulance with her.
"Everyone was talking about it, at first people thought he had hit a pedestrian and then I heard it was actually his wife."
A shopkeeper said: "A customer said he had run over his wife's foot.
"I heard Harry was driving and he accidentally ran her over when she got out."
Sandra became famous to the football fraternity when Redknapp refereed to his better half during a post-match press conference in 2009.
Speaking about a missed chance during Spurs' 1-1 draw with Portsmouth, the gaffer was critical of Darren Bent's late miss.
Saying: "You will never get a better chance to win a match than that.
"My missus could have scored that one."
Harry was said to have been shaken by the incident yesterday and spent last night by her bedside as she recovered.
A friend said: "Sandra did have an accident and was taken to hospital where she had an op.
"It's a long story, but she should be OK."
