His career in professional football spanned a remarkable 52 years during which Harry saw 279 games as a player and 1,400 games in management making him third on the all-time list of most games managed in the Premier League. Since then, Harry has gone on to lead a successful career in Broadcast, providing punditry on BT Sport and winning the title of King of the Jungle last year on ITV’s “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”

Harry’s playing career saw him have spells at Bournemouth, Brentford and in the USA with Seattle Sounders in 1976 and Phoenix Fire. He retired as a player with Bournemouth in 1982 but was quickly thrust into the limelight being made manager in 1983. In 1994 he took charge of former club West Ham United before moving on to Portsmouth in 2002. He guided the club to promotion to the Premier League, the first time they had reached the top flight for 15 years. He briefly departed the club to join their south coast rivals Southampton in 2004 but was soon back at Fratton Park as the club had their most successful period in recent times. This included winning the FA Cup in 2008. His achievements at Portsmouth saw him take over at Tottenham Hotspur in 2008. The North London club were hovering near the foot of the table when he took the reins, but he soon turned their fortunes around. In 2010, he guided the club to their highest ever Premier League finish, seeing them qualify for the Champions League for the first time since the 1960s. He then moved to QPR in 2012 and helping them earn a promotion back to the Premier League.
