#4 Redknapp subs in a fan
While there is no video evidence of this, Harry Redknapp shares a hilarious story of how he substituted a big-mouthed drunk fan during a friendly game for West Ham United. ‘Arry was West Ham’s manager back then and was overseeing a pre-season friendly game against Oxford.
A fan in the stand, named Steven Davies, was drunk out of his wits and wasn’t shy to voice his opinions by yelling from the stands. During one such incident, Davies shouted towards Redknapp that he could have done a better job than the then West Ham striker, Lee Chapman.
That was it—Harry had enough. The former Spurs manager, to the surprise of many, pulled the fan out of the stands, got him a kit and subbed him in—but the story doesn’t end here.
Yes, you have guessed it right (if you did), Davies actually went on to score in the 71st minute of the game, making it a perfect icing on the cake moment.
