Harry's Game

Intriguing to see WHU's old gaffer Harry Redknapp dropped into the jungle on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! After a lifetime dealing with agents, Harry found it pretty easy putting his hand in a box full of crabs and spiders to win a star. He was also pretty adept at rowing up a creek without a paddle, presumably something he learned at West Ham. Though 'Arry did look a little shocked at having to eat emu, which isn't as yet on the menu at Ken's Cafe.

Now Redknapp is on the way to being a national treasure we could do worse than put him in charge of the Brexit negotiations. This might involve a loan deal for Jean-Claude Juncker and Theresa May being offered to Luxembourg on a free. Perhaps his negotiating style will include throwing a plate of sandwiches at some Eurocrat's nut, as he once did at Don Hutchison for not tracking back in a game at Southampton. His talk of 'rickets' and being 'down to the bare bones' would surely bamboozle the EU and he might get a deal over the line on deadline day. And in a couple of years he'd have us back in Europe via the Inter-Toto.
