After urging Football League clubs to adopt a more attractive style of game, Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp admitted his admiration yesterday for Wimbledon.
"They'd bang on the dressing room door and Vinnie Jones would shout: "Come out, you bunch of cowards". Then they'd wait in the tunnel to look your players up and down, saying: 'We're gonna do you'."
But he ruled out adopting the Crazy Gang's tactics at Old Trafford.
"We could bash up Rio Ferdinand, he can't fight," laughed Redknapp. "But I wouldn't like to be the one who threatens Rooney, would you?"
