Redknapp has happy Lennon back in tune

HARRY REDKNAPP has had a galvanising effect on everybody at Tottenham Hotspur, from the boardroom to the tearoom, but nobody encapsulates the north London revival more completely than Aaron Lennon.

The former Leeds winger cut a sorry figure under previous head coach Juande Ramos, targeted by the White Hart Lane faithful and apparently on his way out of the club in January.

But Redknapp has worked his magic on Lennon and his sublime performance yesterday, which saw him set up Roman Pavlyuchenko’s winner with a thrilling burst down the right flank and then entice the fouls that resulted in Martin Olsson’s first-half red card, prompted Redknapp to call for him to be reinstated to the England squad.
