Jamie Redknapp revealed pitch invader who hugged Harry during West Ham days was his mum

Harry Redknapp has been married to his wife Sandra for 55 years – and their relationship has involved something not many others can lay claim to: a pitch invasion.

Harry is best known for his days as a manager – he took charge of Bournemouth, West Ham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Tottenham between 1983 and 2012. But he started out as a player and turned out for the Hammers between 1965 and 1972.

The budding footballer met Sandra while he was still learning the game in the West Ham academy. They first met aged 17 at the Two Puddings pub, in Barking, East London in 1963 and got married at Barking Abbey on June 30, 1968.
