HARRY REDKNAPP joins Tottenham’s 100-club today – and has no plans to call it quits any time soon.
Redknapp reaches a century of matches for Spurs when his side face Wolves at White Hart Lane today.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy calls him “Superman” for taking the club from the bottom of the table to the Champions League.
And after two years at Spurs, 63-year-old Redknapp reckons he’s got plenty left in the tank.
He said: “While I keep enjoying it I will keep going and while the club want me to keep going I will stay here. I don’t feel any different to what I did before.
“I didn’t realise it was 100 games. Life is going that quickly, isn’t it?
“It couldn’t have gone much better for us, really, from where we were and what we’ve done.
“I don’t think there’s been any real downsides to it at all, I’ve enjoyed it from day one, it’s all gone fairly smoothly.”
Redknapp is able to get away from football by returning home to Dorset and spending time with wife Sandra.
“We’re boring as hell, we’re like ‘Billy No-Mates’, me and my missus, just do our own thing,” he said.
“I have not been in a pub in 35 years and I have not been in a nightclub in 40 years!”
But while at work he is fully focused on masterminding victories for Spurs – and next up is a visit from a Wolves team accused of being too physical.
Redknapp disagrees with Arsene Wenger about players now needing more protection and he has no problems with Wolves’ tactics.
“He (Wenger) has had one or two bad injuries and maybe he thinks they have been hard done by,” Redknapp said.
“That’s his opinion, but we haven’t all got to agree with it.
“It’s just as well he wasn’t here in the ’60s. If he sees the tackling then that’s something to worry about.
“It was unbelievable in those days – the tackle from behind was allowed.
“Look at the Leeds team from that era. They were a great side with fantastic ability, but they were so aggressive and
the wars they had with Chelsea were frightening, brutal.
“That’s how it was, bad tackles were all part of the game and everybody had scars to show for it, everybody got kicked at some point.
“You can’t get away with those tackles nowadays, nowhere near.
“The game is softer, for sure – players are quicker to close down now, but there isn’t the same brutality.”
