DT Cameos>> Harry Redknapp
Harry Redknapp had several
encounters with Harchester United - and not always
ones he'd like to remember! Mid-way through his time as West Ham manager in
the 1997-98 season, he meets with HUFC chairman Michael Jacobs, and Harchester Sound FM Sport’s Lucy Patcham believes she's got the scoop that Redknapp
is set to replace the departed Ron Atkinson and become the
club's new manager. This doesn't happen, but later that season, a goal from
West Ham's Eyal Berkovich
sends Harchester out at the FA Cup Quarter Final. A
season later it is West Ham's turn to exit at the Fourth Round with a 4-0 win
by Harchester. West Ham and Harchester face
each other in the UEFA Cup Third Round in the 1999-00 season, the First Leg a
1-0 win to Harchester at the Lair, while Paolo Di Canio and Paulo Wanchope score in a 2-2 draw at Upton Park for the
Second, Harchester winning on aggregate. The match
is also famous for Jerry Block catching sight
of Wembley gunman Mr. MacKinley standing just across from Harry on the touchline! For that
season's transfer deadline day, Harchester are
interested in selling Billy O'Neill to West
Ham, with Harry waiting at the Lair, only Billy has cold feet about going and
locks himself in the toilet. Harry takes out being kept waiting all day on Jeff, telling him
he'll think twice before working with him again! Harry's relationship with Billy isn't damaged, and Chadwell Health training
ground is his destination that summer. The last game of the 2000-01 season sees goals from Di Canio and Frédéric Kanouté, but a 3-2 loss to Harchester
also marks the end of both managers, Harry and Ray Wyatt's time with
their respective clubs. For the FA Cup Fifth Round in 2004-05, Harchester face Harry's new club Switching Leagues for 2005-06, Harchester
return to the Premier League while Southampton go down to the Championship,
and Harry is more susceptible to dealing with Harchester's
latest agent Chloe Tyler, whose new
husband (of one day) Liam MacKay is looking for
a move after knowing he was unwanted by manager Felix Hahn. On his return
