Hammers return holds no fears for Harry

HARRY REDKNAPP returns to Upton Park tonight hoping for a warm reception and admits nothing will compare to the hostility he suffered when he went back to Portsmouth with Southampton.

It is uncertain how Hammers fans will react, as Redknapp gave them entertainment and stability during his seven-year spell as their manager but is now with their bitter rivals.

He is hoping they will not turn on him but if they do it is unlikely to come close to the ugly scenes when he went to Fratton Park after joining Pompey’s rivals.
