Quotes from Harry Redknapp

Down at Bournemouth, I kicked a tray of cups up into air, and one hit Luther Blissett on the head. He flicked it on, and it went all over my suit hanging behind. Another time, at West Ham, I also threw a plate of sandwiches at Don Hutchison. He's sitting there, still arguing with me, with cheese and tomato running down his face.

I would love to work with a young and upcoming coach somewhere and give him some experience. Something like Gerry Francis overseeing Tony Pulis.

You can look at stats as much as you want - and we do - but you can have too much of it. You can spend too much time looking at computers rather than looking at the real thing which is out there on the pitch. I still think that being a good judge of players is the most important thing.

When I was a player, you only left the club if they wanted to get rid of you. That was your team - if you were at West Ham, you didn't leave until the manager wanted to replace you. You didn't think about playing for Arsenal or Chelsea.

If I could help someone somewhere, help a young manager, I'd love that. I did it at Derby with Darren Wassall and had a great time.

I have not purposely gone out to try to avoid paying income tax.

I have never written a letter in my life.

I enjoy going to Old Trafford. I love the tradition.

I do enjoy seeing footballers every day, being on the training ground.

I never went overseas until I left school and joined West Ham United Football Club at the beginning of the Sixties.

I was fortunate to spend the Sixties working for one of the greatest football minds this country has ever produced: Ron Greenwood.

Dave Mackay was one of the best I've ever seen. Jimmy Greaves was the greatest goal scorer, and George Best was just the best. The greatest.

I've enjoyed my time at every club I have worked at, I've been lucky, but I won't jump in and finish up working with a chairman I didn't like very much.

In the Fifties, Canvey was a top seaside place for a youngster - the famous Canvey Island Casino was full of slot machines and there were all the fairground rides, such as the dodgems, and a speedway track.

The arrival of Arsene Wenger in 1996 certainly heralded a change in English football. He was very successful very quickly, and suddenly, all the talk was about his revolutionary new training methods.

Lots of people do that silly tweeting.

Scholes was playing tiki-taka football when nobody in England knew what it was. He was another of those players, like Denis Law or Bobby Moore, who at 15 probably looked as if he wouldn't make it.

I write like a two-year-old, and I can't spell.

I could write a book - if I could write, ha ha - about how many times I've been ripped off lending money to people. I'm an absolutely unbelievable soft touch. Unbelievable. I never learn my lesson.

People think I'm all calm, but underneath I'm not.

I just thought Spurs were a challenge that I had to take on.

To me, there's no point in having confrontation for the sake of it.

I told Birmingham I don't want nothing, I'm not interested in the money.

If there is anybody who feels they are not in the right frame of mind to play, then obviously, I would not play them.
