Summary
Hola Big Interview listeners!
Our Socios have been telling us about their favourite Big Interviews from our archive. Here's another classic with the great Harry Redknapp.
I loved recording this. Harry's stories are absolute brilliant and you will hear him discuss why he ignored advice from other coaches to sign the likes of Paolo Di Canio and Robert Prosinecki.
And what of the one that got away: Ian Wright? Why did Harry decline the chance to take that now-notable goalscorer on trial at Bournemouth? He'll tell you in this episode.
And just wait until he recalls the story of whisking Kanu out of an airport on a wheelchair hours after Portsmouth had faced Middlesbrough. Trust me, it's well worth waiting for.

| 0:13.0 | Hi this is Taylor from Shenzhen China and I am a socio of the big interview. |
| 0:18.0 | My favorite episodes are the insights from La Liga. Living out in China I can't keep up with the league I love because of the kickoff times |
| 0:25.2 | and the fact that it's just not covered out here it's not very popular which is very very sad and |
| 0:29.2 | Graham and his insight really helps me to stay in touch with the league I love and the football I love. This season we've asked our socios at patreon.com forward slash Graham Hunter |
| 0:48.4 | to choose their favorite interview from our archive. The big interview started in April 2015 and we've now done over 200 |

| 1:05.8 | Hi, this is Matt. I'm a big-in-to-social from Leeds and I've chosen the interview with Harry Rednap from season one because I can listen to Harry tell stories all day about football. |
| 1:18.0 | The man is an absolute legend. Coming up in a minute the big interview with Harry Rednap. What a remarkable day we had |
| 1:32.4 | with him down in the English Riviera. Let me tell you why I selected him. |
| 1:36.0 | From the very first time I went down to work in England full time, probably the guy who was quickest to be warm, quickest to seek me out was Harry Rednap. |
| 1:45.0 | It was a coincidence because I'd always admired him. I'd been a fan of Ted McDougal, Ted McDougal played at |
| 1:50.0 | Bormuth, so I started to follow Harry Rednapapp whose playing career I'd been too young to know about but I gradually understood that |
| 1:56.7 | He fascinated me because he'd played amongst the elite. He'd played in that West Hamside where Bobby Moore was still king, but there was class all around him, |
| 2:07.0 | and he played on a West Ham side that was expected to be England's Academy of Elegance and Football with Brio and Football with Beauty. |
