Harry's absolute best signing was a good dodgy accountant to hide all his brown envelope bung money,

Hard to not say Yakubu to be honest, grabbed him 'young' and the guy was a natural goalscorer. He was huge for us but the guy cannot be judged on one signing, he was amazing for us and he signed so many amazing players.

When Paul Merson signed for Pompey in 2002 I was very loud in my criticism with my fellow Pompey fans "he's only here for a holiday, he's only here for the pay cheque". I have never been happier to be proved an idiot! He was an inspiration that season.

I Think you was the only one who thought that, I’ve never heard anybody say that or that they thought that way, we was bloody awful year after year and as soon as harry was appointed manager and the signings started coming in I knew we was in for change and when Merse signed Everybody knew what direction we was going and I must admit that was the start of the best ride I’ve ever been on and still riding it to this day… PUP

Legendary stuff

My first live game was a 3-0 win in Pompey's promotion season from the old Division 1 with Merson. I was about 8 years old, and I still remember Merson setting up a goal with an absolute beauty of a pass. Throw in to his feet inside our half, he looked up, and put the ball on the chest of Todorov, on the corner of the Watford penalty area. Todorov had it in the net a few seconds later. That was the moment I lost the childlike adoration of Manchester United many kids had in the 90's and fell in love with Pompey.

Love merse so humble and I really don’t think he appreciates what an amazing player he was !! He would be perfect player for this modern era 👍

Met Paul on numerous occasions at games and at other events, top top bloke

When Merse signed for Pompey I thought, that's it. We're going up. ❤

An absolute colossus at Portsmouth, the best football I’ve seen at Fratton Park

A Pompey great 👍 super player to watch and inspirational for the club !! PUP 🏆

Could listen about Harry all night

Great video, love Paul merson

Fair play Mers! Top man 👍

A true legend

Love Merse, was great for us at Villa., No doubt, loved his time at Pompey but the standing ovation at Millwall? There were only 50 of em there 😂

Ive been going to Millwall regularly since 1993 and i dont remember any other opposition fans getting applauded off the pitch at The Den!

There were no Pompey fans at that game. They weren’t allowed in!

Great story but the question is, why not just tell Harry that you fancy going to Barbados for a week?

I heard this tale about 13 years ago and Harry’s mate was called Dave! 😂😂

Harry knew Merson was on holiday but didn’t want a argument because he wanted to get Portsmouth promoted

Knew what was right for the team

I used to work in an office. One of the workers called out sick for 4 days - said he had a high fever. The following day he was on the same plane to California as the manager of the office. The manager was not as nice as Harry.

😬😬 Would love to see Harry Redknapp running an ordinary office for a week

That one hair on his nose. That's Spurs.

He’s checking the score caus he had bets on hahaha says out Merson

For Pompey, Arjan De Zeeuw & Merse Probably Di Canio for West Ham

He joined Portsmouth because they offered him more money

This age group of footballers wasted their talents. Pretty pathetic, really. Most working men would give anything for a few hundred thousands of pounds a week for kicking a ball round.....
