Harry: Tame Tom not the type

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has backed Tom Huddlestone over an alleged stamp on Johan Elmander, and says the midfielder is "not aggressive". The FA were are planning to examine the referee's report from Saturday's game against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium before deciding if they would investigate the incident.If it is confirmed, as expected, that Chris Hoy did not spot the challenge, the FA will examine video footage and decide whether to charge Huddlestone.Redknapp said: "I'm going to say something that you probably don't even believe: I never even saw it - and I still haven't seen it."I'll go outside and I'll watch it right now, but I genuinely haven't seen the challenge."He added: "I know there are a few managers that say they didn't see what happened, and I'm not becoming one of them but I never saw what happened.""Did he jump on him or something? I swear I followed the ball and never saw what happened. I don't know what happened. That's the God's honest truth."But Tom's tame. He's a good footballer, isn't he? He's not aggressive." Television pictures appear to show Huddlestone's left foot making contact with Elmander's chest.Redknapp claimed on Monday that Bolton were content any contact had not been intentional."I spoke to them afterwards and they said they felt it was an accident," he said.Huddlestone has already avoided a UEFA charge this season after television pictures appeared to show his elbow making contact with the face of an opponent during Spurs' Champions League win over FC Twente.
