EX-Cherries boss Harry Redknapp will again help his former club by bringing Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur to Dean Court for a potentially-lucrative friendly.[LNB] Redknapp, the most successful manager in Cherries' history, has agreed to send a star-studded Spurs squad to Dorset World Cup commitments permitting during pre-season.[LNB] Although a date is yet to be finalised, Redknapp has already pencilled in the fixture to Spurs' warm-up campaign following talks with Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell.[LNB] It is possible it could take place either towards the end of July or the beginning of August to allow the majority of Spurs' World Cup-bound players to feature following their exploits in South Africa.[LNB] Some of the gate receipts will be donated to Help for Heroes, a charity launched in September 2007 to help provide better facilities for wounded British servicemen and women.[LNB] Redknapp, who has kept his home in Dorset since leaving Cherries in 1992, told the Daily Echo: It's a good cause and we are heavily involved with it at Tottenham.[LNB] I've spoken to Eddie Mitchell and Bournemouth want to help as well, which is great. We've still got to fix a date but, hopefully, we can sell it out again.[LNB] Redknapp brought Spurs to Dean Court for the first time last July, the Londoners winning 3-0 in front of more than 9,000 fans.[LNB]
