HARRY REDKNAPP PARTNERS WITH SPECSAVERS IN HOPES OF RESCUING BRITAIN’S ‘BEST WORST TEAM’

Legendary football manager Harry Redknapp, formerly of West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton, has been called upon to transform the fortunes of Britain’s Best Worst Team. 

Following his success with Specsavers’ former Best Worst Team, Cwm Albion – where he turned three years of defeats and a -191-goal difference into 50 goals, 7 wins and one of the greatest comebacks in grassroots football history – Harry is back on the sidelines for Somerset’s Tunley Athletic.

It has been a turbulent period for Tunley’s 100-year-old football club – the team lost all 26 of their games last season, finishing rock bottom of the Uhlsport Somerset County League with a staggering -137 goal difference. Earlier this year, Specsavers offered Tunley a once-in-a-lifetime chance at revival, including invaluable coaching and mentoring throughout the season from one of the premier league’s greatest ever managers.

Commenting on re-uniting with Specsavers in his new role at Tunley, Harry Redknapp said,

“After all my years of management in the Premier League and Champions League, it’s hard for me to say I’ve had as much fun as I did with the lads from Cwm Albion last year. That experience with the team, culminating in that comeback was unlike anything I’d experienced before. So, when Specsavers contacted me about Tunley Athletic it was a no brainer. They’re a tight-knit group with a fighting spirit about them, and I can’t wait to see what this season brings.”

Decade-long Tunley Athletic Manager, Duncan Fear, commented, “We’re over the moon at this opportunity to turn our club around, it’s no secret that the past few years haven’t been the easiest. But I strongly believe in our group, and I see the work the team put in every week – getting this help from a truly legendary manager feels like a much-needed breath of fresh air for the club and the community.” 

Harry’s journey with Tunley Athletic will be documented by Specsavers in its ‘Best Worst Team’ YouTube series, with Episode 1 and Episode 2 available to watch now. Subscribe to the Best Worst Team YouTube channel to stay close to the action and look out for exclusive content on Specsavers’ social media channels.
