VIDEO: Harry Redknapp’s stupendous story about his pre-match antics with Fergie at Old Trafford

Old-school

Harry occasionally left Old Trafford a winner.

It has been almost three years since Harry Redknapp last pitted his managerial wits against Alex Ferguson.

The former West Ham, QPR and Portsmouth coach famously got one over United, in 1983, as the manager of Bournemouth and he would often frustrate Ferguson sides on home turf.

At Old Trafford, however, Redknapp rarely fared well.

Perhaps that is because Fergie had his mind on the ponies rather than tactics or formations.

Redknapp revealed, on BT Sport, that the Scot would often invite him into his room for a bet on the 2:45 at Doncaster before a 3pm kick-off.

Robbie Savage’s quip, at the end of this video, is perfect.
