Bournemouth: Former manager Harry Redknapp says Cherries 'can prove again' they belong in Premier League

Bournemouth's win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday saw them secure automatic promotion and a return to the Premier League after a two-year absence.

The Cherries spent five years in the top flight having achieved a first promotion to that level in 2015.

They were relegated in 2020 but find themselves on their way back up in Scott Parker's first year at the helm.

BBC Radio Solent spoke to players past and present and others associated with the club, to find out what promotion means.

Harry Redknapp, former Bournemouth manager 1983-1992:

"They went for it this year, they invested big in the team, they had a fantastic squad and Scott's got the best out of them as well.
