I'm not sure if a previous thread was begun on Jamie Redknapp but as a Spurs fan, I'd just like to say thank you and farewell to the great man. Never has the club seen such a gentleman and inspiring figure as Jamie Redknapp. He's a true legend. I'm sure I speak for everyone on foot.ie when I wish him all the best at Southampton. Thanks for the memories Jamie.
Here's hoping that Michael Brown can fill the void left by our former club captain.
'Legend' is a bit strong now... His best years were at the pool. Wish him the best at southampton though, great move for him, his dads a great manager.
and i thought this thread would be bout patrick j ;)
Patrick J is more of a legend in my book than Jamie Redknapp. Who he anyway? :confused:Quote:

Both have high profile wives, but Redknapp has stayed out of the limelight with his far more gorgeous wife.
If it wasnt for the injury vs S Africa in 1997 who knows what heights Redknapp would have gone to. Hope he does great at Southampton, starting with being injury-free.
agreed. seems like a sound blokeQuote:

So you're comparing yourself to Jamie Redknapp, PP?!
His best days were behind him a long time ago but his old man might get the best out of him again.Great player though who's career was destroyed by injury.
I think Harry has him playing the hard man role at the moment because Jamie was really getting stuck in on his debut game.
I'm not half as good-looking as Redknapp the younger, I'm afraid. And I haven't even asked Mrs PP for her opinion on that. :eek: (although if she compares me to Harry, it'll be Cardboard City for herself tonight... :D )Quote:

But, with Anderton and now Redknapp gone, who will fill the void on the treatment table?Quote:

And so say all of us PM! Despite having played for the Red Sh!te I have the utmost admiration for Jamie..... and his wife ;). He's made a major impact within the past decade. His footballing contributions are also impressive I suppose. I reckon Redknapp Senior has made one very astute signing in Redknapp Junior. Despite been a midfielder I believe he is the perfect replacement to fill the void left by striker James Beattie and Jamie's experience should be enough steer the Saints to safety. Spurs loss is Saints gain!
Redknapp is nowhere near as fat as Beattie, so there's still a bit of a void left to fillQuote:

Spuuuuurs are on dare waaay ta Weeembleeey.
BTW how come those two and the gezzer with the pork pie hat have not had a record out for years. :confused:
Not until I watched him at St Mary's on Wednesday did I realise how good he actually is. Never really paid much attention to him at Liverpool or Spurs, but now he's with us, I think he's going to be great for us.
Now, if I could only find where Louise sits....

I doubt if he even played 50 times for Spurs. I think Stephen Carr would have been more deserving of your accolades, having been at Spurs for over 12 years and playing about 200 league games. Rednapp is lucky to be still playing with the injuries he has had and I doubt if he will be still playing this time next year.
What about Warren Mitchell - I was there once when he was presented at half time, he got booed by the oh so intelligent Spurs fans who didn't cop the fact that Warren Mitchell supports Spurs, while it was Alf Garnett who supports West HamQuote:

On the other hand we all know hes a sound bloke and his wife is bleedin' massive :)
Wouldnt expect you to understand Aldini98. Jamie Redknapp is a true legend.Quote:

I support Spurs and Redknapp is no where near been a spurs legend. There is more to been a legend than a few good games and been a nice blocke. Spurs legends are Steve perryman. Chris Hughton, Jimmy Greaves. Danny Blanchflower, Dave Mackay, Gary Mabbut, Glen Hoddle, Chris Waddle, Ossie Ardiles, Ray Clemence
Ledley King, Jermain Defoe, and Robbie Keane have the potential to be Spurs legends too.
no fat geordie i see :oQuote:

In all seriousness, think Redknapp is a lovely guy and smashing player but hardly a Spurs Legend. I think the likes of Nicholson, Gazza, Hoddle, Perryman, Greaves et al are far more deserving of that title but there is no doubt that whereever Redknapp has been he has been a very loyal club man.
Glad to see Gary Mabbut mentioned - one of the most honest to goodness reliable players Spurs ever had, and a gentleman to boot. He played for years for them though a diabetic I seem to remember. Often forgotten in these days of club-hopping.Quote:

I could have put Lineker down but I think to qualify as a legend you need duration of service, quality and passion for the shirt.
