About this listen

'From kicking a ball as a kid under the street lamps of Poplar and standing on Highbury's North Bank with my dad, to my first game at West Ham, I was born head over heels in love with football. It saved me, and 50 years on that hasn't changed one bit - I'd be lost without it....'

Harry is the manager who has seen it all - from from a dismal 70s Portakabin at Oxford City and training pitches with trees in the middle to the unbeatable highs of the Premiership, lifting the FA Cup and taking on Real Madrid in the Champions League. With his much loved, no-nonsense delivery, Harry brings us a story filled with passion and humour that takes you right inside every drama of his career. Harry finally tells the full story of all the controversial ups and downs - the pain and heartache of his court case, the England job, his love for Bobby Moore, his adventures at Portsmouth with Milan Mandaric, the Southampton debacle, Tottenham and Daniel Levy, and not forgetting his years at West Ham or the challenges at his current club QPR.

It’s the epic journey of one of the great managers and, along the way, the story of the British game itself over the last five decades. In an era now dominated by foreign coaches Harry is the last of an old-fashioned breed of English football man - one who has managed to move with the times and always come out fighting.

This is the first biography I've read or listened to so unable to make a comparison.

He really caught the mood of the text and the way it was read was just as if Harry Redknapp was recalling it directly to you.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No it was one I listened to on my way to work but it did make me sit in the car for a little longer when I arrived just so I could listen to a little more.

Would you listen to Always Managing again? Why?

Funny and informative, certainly the level of hatred that he and his wife endured when he started to manage Southampton.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Always Managing?

Explaining the personality of Paulo DiCanio and how he reacted to his team mates when they didn't live up to his expectations.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The dressing room scenarios were the funniest and the most incite was the QPR squad's lack of commitment made interesting listening.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to the book in 2 days, enough said?

Much better listen than other Managers books
