Football: Birmingham manager Redknapp in cancer scare

Author: Agencies

LONDON: Veteran manager Harry Redknapp revealed Sunday he had had a tumour removed from his bladder but fortunately it had not been diagnosed as malignant. The 70-year-old Birmingham manager – who guided Portsmouth to FA Cup glory in 2008 – told the ‘Sun on Sunday’ he had never been so stressed in his life. “I could feel it in my body – I knew it wasn’t right,” said Redknapp, who also managed among others Tottenham Hotspur. “This is the first time I’ve been properly worried. They cut it out, took it away, sent it away to make sure it is not malignant and luckily everything was OK. I know I am fortunate.” Redknapp, who succeeded in keeping Birmingham in the 2nd tier Championship, says his peace of mind has at least been restored.
