Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp finds the answer to his centre back crisis

Harry Redknapp is backing Tom Huddlestone to see Tottenham Hotspur through their defensive crisis. The White Hart Lane boss has been forced to work around injuries to central defenders Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate and Michael Dawson already this season. Huddlestone, better known as a cultured midfielder, was used at the back against Burnley and Redknapp was impressed. 'I thought Tom was tremendous at centre-half,' said the Spurs manager. 'He started out playing at the back as a kid and he's majestic when he plays there, he just has that air of confidence about him. 'When someone like that is so comfortable on the ball you never panic when he gets it, you think "it's OK, Tom's got it" and he reads the game so well as well. He's been terrific for us this season.'
