Cherries: Harry to bring Spurs to Dean Court

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
