Harry Redknapp gave Spurs players the 'hairdryer treatment' after infamous 2009 Christmas party

After Robbie Keane whisked him and his team-mates on a trip to Dublin Jamie O'Hara says his then-boss was furious and dropped those involved

Former Tottenham man Jamie O’Hara revealed that then-manager Harry Redknapp went “absolutely mental” after an infamous Spurs Christmas party in 2009.

Robbie Keane whisked some Spurs players away to Dublin for a knees-up despite knowing Redknapp would not have permitted it.

In fact, the former Portsmouth and West Ham manager called a team meeting the day after the party had happened, forbidding the team from having one.
