Redknapp blasts Spurs’ booze boys

HARRY REDKNAPP has launched a scathing attack on the drinking culture he inherited at Tottenham Hotspur and has warned he will not tolerate any more public transgressions from his wayward players.

Redknapp is still furious at the conduct of his club captain Ledley King, who was arrested by police in the small hours of Sunday morning after allegedly occasioning actual bodily harm on a bouncer outside a Soho nightspot.

King has been fined two weeks’ wages – roughly £130,000 (€146,000) – and warned as to his future conduct after being hauled into Redknapp’s office for a dressing-down last week, although his willingness to issue an immediate public apology means he will start today’s match with Manchester City at White Hart Lane.
