England caretaker coach Stuart Pearce rates Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp among the nation's greatest ever.
Pearce ranks Harry Redknapp as one of British football's all time great managers.
"He rang me a week before the start of the Premier League season with West Ham due to play Tottenham the next weekend, a massive game in that part of the world. He rang me up, having not even signed me, and said: 'You're playing on Saturday. Get yourself fit. The chairman's sanctioned the move.' I worked with Harry for two years. I enjoyed my time with him.
"The feedback you get from all the players is that they enjoy his management style and he makes everyone feel important. I think Harry has all the same traits as all good managers, if I'm being honest. Brian Clough had it. Bill Shankly had it. Sir Alex Ferguson's got it. All the good managers who are successful have that ability to build their players up and give their players confidence. That's why they're successful.""His man-management skills are outstanding," said caretaker England boss Pearce. "My first contact with Harry was when I was still at Newcastle as a player and I was looking to move clubs.
