Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Joe Jordan proved what a REAL MAN is by not reacting to Rino Gattuso's actions on Tuesday. In his column for The Sun, Redknapp wrote: "A real man can take violent abuse and not react.
"Only a real man can keep his fists by his side when he is attacked.
"Only a real man refuses to get dragged down, despite being grabbed, pushed and head-butted.
"That real man is my mate.
"That real man is my first-team coach at White Hart Lane.
"That real man is Joe Jordan.
"In the face of unbelievable provocation at the San Siro, Joe kept his hands to himself while Gennaro Gattuso had him by the throat.
"He did not lose his rag when Gattuso shoved him, he did not go in with fists swinging when Gattuso shocked us all with his head-butt.
"Joe took the lot. And now some people are trying to paint him as the villain of the piece, when nothing could be further from the truth."
