Harry: I don’t know. People say it’s in the genes. It’s amazing how Sandra and Pat – two sisters – both had sons [Jamie and Frank Lampard] who played for England, but it’s very unusual. There are very few footballers who have sons who have actually become footballers. Sandra will open up for the first time about the devastating death of her beloved sister, Pat, mum to former Chelsea star Frank, and the horror car crash that left Harry feared dead in Italy in 1990. As readers are taken on a journey through family loss, football-prompted opportunities to live the highlife in America, life-threatening accidents, the spectre of tax evasion, and life with their grandchildren, their story is shot-through with love and loyalty. Sandra was beside herself when I was on trial in 2012 for tax evasion. It broke my heart how upset she was. But even though I knew she was angry, we never had an argument about it. We’ve always said throughout our marriage that you can’t just have a row, and throw the towel in. You’ll have good days and bad days and you just have to work through it. Then, I got a call from this American fella, Leonard Lesser. “We want you as a coach, we need you at Phoenix,” he told me. I thought of a silly figure, then doubled it, and then he was offering me more plus a five-year deal.

In his interview with the magazine, Scobie noted that when he started writing his book, Elizabeth II was still alive. You’ve had your fair share of abuse in football but said the worst was when someone said they “hoped your wife got cancer”. How did you deal with that? Another man, who moved to Bournemouth a month ago, said he wanted to come down to see a “local hero”.

About Harry Redknapp

Harry Redknapp is a well known and highly respected face in the world of football. But it wasn’t until his stint in the I’m A Celebrity Jungle in 2018 that he was propelled into a whole new audience along with his loyal wife of 55 years, Sandra. Harry: The people I look up to are the Harry Kanes of this world – he’s a family man and gets on with it. Sometimes, the younger ones get a bit flash when they start making money but what I hate most is if I hear people aren’t having photos with fans. I used to make the players from West Ham sign autographs for everybody after training. To kids, older people, you can make their day.

The Prince also played a key role in the downfall of his uncle, the Duke of York, at the height of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The journey home wasn’t much better - we broke down again and it took us another eight hours to get home.

We all chatted throughout the night and I noticed Harry was becoming more and more drunk. He told me he wasn’t a beer drinker and so he had been on the Bacardi and cokes. Prince William is said to be buoyed by his popularity with the public, to the extent that he is “sometimes more concerned about his own image than that of the institution”. The Duke’s apparent change of heart concerning his family comes 11 months after he demanded “accountability” as a precursor to any chance of reconciliation. The couple will also look ahead to next year, which marks 60 years since they first met. When Harry Met Sandra is an incredible tale of love, loss and loyalty.
