Harry Redknapp was yesterday finally given the honour that he has craved – the chance to lead his country, which he did as an England side beat their counterparts from the Rest of the World in the charity event Soccer Aid, which was raising funds for unicef.
With the transfer window closed – so no business to be done – and most of our players away on international duty the Pompey manager was allowed to work with a collection of former football legends and stars of the world of entertainment for most of last week. At the end of it – last night – he had to oversee his troops at Wembley. Once again he managed to guide a team to success on the hallowed turf as England ran out victorious 4-3.
I do not know if anyone else watched the game, but it was entertaining with a range of stars on view – from footballs yesteryear and some surprisingly good footballers from other walks of life.
It was good to have Pompey represented on such a global event, but most importantly we must remember that this was all in the name of charity.
PLAY UP POMPEY!
