Who is his wife, Sandra and son Jamie?
Redknapp married Sandra Harris on June 30, 1967.
They have two sons, Jamie and Mark.
Their eldest, Jamie, is a former footballer-turned-pundit having played under his father at Bournemouth and Southampton.
In between those sides, he starred for Liverpool and Tottenham as a midfielder – but was constantly plagued with injuries.
In June 29, 1998, he married pop singer Louise Nurding – known for being a member of girl group Eternal before going solo.
Jamie has two sons, Charley – named after his wife’s grandfather who passed the day she found out she was pregnant – and Beau.
But the couple split after 19 years of marriage, with the divorce finalised in December 2017.

Why did he go on I’m A Celebrity and how much did he get paid?
Before going on the show Redknapp said: “I was going to do Strictly this year, but I didn’t think I could dance, that was one thing. I actually had a trial with one of the professionals who came round my house.
“She was fantastic, but after I trod on her toes about five times I realised I wasn’t a very good dancer.”
The ex-manager pocketed £500,000 for his stint on I’m A Celeb.
He was the second-highest celebrity on the show, behind Noel Edmonds who took home £600,000.
