The grandson of former Bournemouth manager Harry Redknapp has been signed by the Cherries' academy. Harry Redknapp junior, seven, was spotted playing for local side Moordown. Described as "direct, strong and a good little goalscorer" by technical development officer Matty Holmes, his uncle Jamie also played for the club. "I'm really pleased for little Harry - he likes his football," current QPR boss Redknapp told BBC South Today. Redknapp senior, who was manager of the Cherries for nine years, was delighted to see his grandson continue the family tradition at the club. "Bournemouth has got a smashing little academy down there, so it's good for him," he said. "It's a good little club and I'm really pleased - hopefully he'll develop and who knows what will happen. The main thing is that he enjoys himself. "They've got some good coaches down there. Matty Holmes is someone I know because I signed him when he was 15 - it's kind of come full circle. It's a good bunch down there." Redknapp junior, who was also wanted by Southampton's academy, was spotted by Bournemouth talent scout Andy Penney, who runs the rule over seven and eight-year-old footballers in Dorset. ********************** The Cherries have also announced the academy signing of goalkeeper Mack Allen - grandson of former England World Cup winner Alan Ball.
He's probably buying and selling Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh Shinies, to the other lads whilst shouting in a high pitched voice "I ain't no Facking Wheeler dealer!"
If he has sold most of his cards, he will probably tell the other kids that he is down to 'bare bones'.
Yes, the few cards he has left, he has probably offered to scooter them around to anyone who wanted them.
