Tottenham No2 Bond: Redknapp gutted to miss Liverpool draw

Tottenham assistant coach Kevin Bond admits Harry Redknapp was gutted to miss their draw at Liverpool.

Redknapp failed to get to the game after a plane due to take him north from London City airport was grounded because of a technical problem.

"Harry would normally give the team talk and he was unable to do that," said assistant boss Bond.

"He couldn't get here. But we knew the side and the way we were going to play. It was just a different voice giving the instructions to the players. But he is our leader and we wanted him here as much as he wanted to be here.

"It is horrible. We had a similar situation the month before last when we played Fulham and he was unable to be at the game. Speaking to him afterwards, it was a nightmare for him sat at home, kicking every ball when you can't affect anything.

"I know he would have been feeling that way tonight. But all's well that end's well. We are pleased with the point."
