Sind ein paar schoene Ankdoten drin. Unter anderem wie Harry Redknapp in einem Testspiel einen noergelden Fan einwechselt..

"Kannst du so gut spielen, wie du redest?" Das fragt Redknapp, als er plötzlich vor dem Glatzkopf steht. Der Skinhead, ein 27-Jähriger namens Steve Davies, ist verwirrt. Meint der Coach seines Lieblingsclubs das jetzt ernst? Ja, tut er. Denn Redknapp verkündet gleich darauf: Heute werde Davies' Traum wahr, er dürfe seinen großkotzigen Worten Taten folgen lassen und für West Ham spielen. Dann schickt er den verdutzten Schreihals in die Umkleide. Zehn Minuten später läuft Davies im West-Ham-Trikot auf den Platz.

Das schoene ist, die Story ist wirklich passiert. Hier die Geschichte im Original...

"Is there any truth in the story that Harry Redknapp once fielded a spectator during a West Ham game?" asks Terry Williams. "Legend has it that the Hammers were having a shocker and a fan was heckling them. Harry is then supposed to have turned round and said: 'If you think you can do any better, then prove it!'"

Incredibly, the legend is true, Terry. In 1994, Redknapp was assistant manager of West Ham and his side were playing Oxford City in a pre-season friendly when ... well, we'll let 'Arry take up the tale:

"Lee Chapman was playing for us at the time," recounts Redknapp. "All through the first half some tattooed skinhead behind me was giving Lee terrible stick. At half-time I turned to this bloke who had West Ham etched on his neck and asked 'Can you play as good as you talk?' He looked totally confused. So I told him he was going to get his dream to play for West Ham. We sent him down the tunnel and he reappeared 10 minutes later all done out in the strip. He ran on to the pitch and a journalist from the local Oxford paper sidled up and asked 'Who's that Harry?' I said 'What? Haven't you been watching the World Cup? That's the great Bulgarian Tittyshev!' The fella wasn't bad - actually, he scored!"

The fella in question was a 27-year-old called Steve Davies who had given up park football six years earlier. The West Ham board were obviously impressed with Harry's idiosyncratic decision-making: they made him manager a month later.
