Tottenham boss Redknapp: Only job that I'd leave Portsmouth for

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says he's delighted to be in charge at White Hart Lane.

Speaking at the club's AGM on Monday, Redknapp said: "I know an awful lot about this football club. I know the traditions of this football club.

"As a 12-year-old I came here to meet Bill Nicholson outside these gates. I used to come and watch every game as a school boy. I came training on Tuesday and Thursday nights here. The tradition of this football club is fantastic.

"I turned down the opportunity to manage Newcastle. I nearly went but decided not to - this was the only job I would have moved away from Portsmouth for at that stage. It was a great opportunity for me to come here."
