For My Next Trick


Never mind being offered the job of England football manager - that's just child's play.

Because Harry Redknapp has a ready made career waiting for him when he decides to move on from Tottenham Hotspur - as professional escapologist.

How can anyone convince a jury that nothing dodgy was going on - when they flew over to Monaco with a suitcase full of cash to open a new bank account?

Normal people don't do that kind of thing - normal people know fine well that there's something dodgy going on if suitcases of caash are involved.

Yet that's the very basis of Harry Redknapp's charm - he's a cheeky chappy cockney - the boy next door made good.

Nonetheless a swivel eyed jury seems to have swallowed Harry's tall story - hook, line and sinker - which meant he walked away Scot-free from allegations of tax evasion.

So to my mind Harry Renkapp is the Harry Houdini of English football - and I suspect the jury must have been drawn from the same stock as the one in Edinburgh.

The one which decided that Celtic manager - Neil Lennon - was not attacked by the drunken  Hearts fan who ran on to the pitch at Tynecastle and had to be restrained.

Maybe Harry 'Houdini' Rednkapp's next trick will be to lead England to victory in this year's Euro Championship?

I doubt it but then again - you never know.
