Tottenham boss Redknapp admits feeling his age this term

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admit he's been feeling his age this season.

Redknapp confesses to a creeping exhaustion.

"It's not the passion, but I have found myself this year getting a bit more tired," he told the Telegraph. "I'd be lying if I said I hadn't. It's just getting older. Some days it has knocked me a little bit for six.

"It's hard. I've found myself on some days leaving home at three in the morning. Then I'm outside the training ground at five, but they don't open up until seven. I'm just sitting there, listening to the radio. It does take a toll on you. I've found I've stayed up in London more. I used to drive up and down each day: probably six hours' driving.

"But I still have the same enthusiasm. I love going in and working with good players. I love the way they shift the ball about in training. I'd find it harder now to go and work with inferior players. These lads are great to watch."
