The hugely entertaining autobiography of one of the most popular and highly respected managers in the English Football League.
Mention West Ham United FC and the name Harry Redknapp immediately springs to mind. The Hammers’ boss is an institution in the game; his experience of English football in the Nineties from the perspective of one club is unsurpassed.
His was a controversial appointment, as he took over as manager at West Ham in 1994 to succeed former favourite Billy Bonds. But Redknapp broke the mould: he was one of the first Premiership managers to recruit heavily from abroad, and he gives a refreshing insight into how such players as Raducioiu, Dani, Boogers and other foreign buys adjusted – or in many cases, failed – to adapt to the frenetic pace and unique culture of English football.
More recently he has proved a shrewd investor in British talent. The likes of Trevor Sinclair, Neil Ruddock and Ian Wright have ensured that the Hammers have been a force to be reckoned with throughout this season’s Premiership campaign.
Away from football, Redknapp recalls his narrow escape from a near-fatal car accident in 1990 and the unique relationship with son Jamie, a quality player for Liverpool and England who is now married to pop star Louise.
In an extra chapter to the original hardback edition, Harry comments on the Hammers’ performance during the 1998–99 season, and reveals the truth behind the many colourful and often controversial incidents that have beset the East End club in recent months.

Always Managing: My Autobiography

The Sunday Times number one bestselling memoir from Harry Redknapp
From kicking a ball as a kid under the street lamps of Poplar and standing on Highbury's North Bank with my dad, to my first game at West Ham, I was born head over heels in love with football. It saved me, and 50 years on that hasn't changed one bit—I'd be lost without it…
Harry is the soccer manager who has seen it all—from from a dismal 1970s Portakabin at Oxford City and training pitches with trees in the middle, to the unbeatable highs of the Premiership, lifting the FA Cup, and taking on Real Madrid in the Champions League. With his much loved, no-nonsense delivery, Harry brings us a story filled with passion and humor that takes you right inside every drama of his career. Harry finally tells the full story of all the controversial ups and downs—the pain and heartache of his court case, the England job, his love for Bobby Moore, his adventures at Portsmouth with Milan Mandaric, the Southampton debacle, Tottenham and Daniel Levy, and not forgetting his years at West Ham or the challenges at his current club QPR. It’s the epic journey of one of the great managers and, along the way, the story of the British game itself over the last five decades. In an era now dominated by foreign coaches, Harry is the last of an old-fashioned breed of English soccer man—one who has managed to move with the times and always come out fighting.

A Man Walks On to a Pitch: Stories from a Life in Football

When a man walks on to a pitch there’s always a chance something magic can happen, that’s what keeps us coming back. . . In A Man Walks On to a Pitch, Harry shares a lifetime’s experience of obsessing over soccer, during which he has seen it all first hand—the good, the bad, and the unbelievable. Harry started in an age where players were ordinary blokes who might live on the same street as you and earn a similar wage, and now manages in an era of player power, multi-million pound wages, and teams assembled from around the globe. As he shares stories of some of the legends and journeymen he played with, coached, argued with, and drank with, Harry picks a team for each decade from the 1950s to the present. He gets to the heart of what was right and wrong with each era, and explores the changes in the game from lifestyle to tactics. He weaves his choices together with unforgettable tales from the training pitches, boot rooms, and card schools. There are tales of the untutored genius of Duncan Edwards and Tom Finney, legendary tough Scots like Bobby Collins, Dave Mackay, and Billy Bremner, the world beaters of 1966, unpredictable one-off wizards from Sir Stanley Matthews to Matt Le Tissier, natural-born goalscorers from Greaves to Dalglish, and the greatest foreign players to grace our game, from Trautmann to Bergkamp. It is one of the best informal histories of the British game you’ll ever read.

The World According to Harry

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'The beautiful game has taught me a lot, but I’ve had quite a life outside of football too. This book is full of my best stories – kickabouts with jumpers for goalposts with Bobby Moore, mine and Sandra’s disastrous honeymoon to Torquay in a dodgy car and my funniest ‘Mr Pastry’ moments – as well as my thoughts on the important things in life. 
I’m finally sharing what I’ve learned on and off the pitch: from growing up poor in Poplar to the heights of the Premiership and even lying in a coffin with a load of rats on national television. It’s everything I know about true team spirit, hard work, tough times, why family are so important and why everyone deserves respect no matter whether they’re royal or sleeping rough – and, of course, the real joy of a jam roly-poly.'
