Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric says Harry Redknapp was a big influence on his career.
Modric left Spurs a decade ago for Real Madrid.
He told the Daily Mail, "Harry Redknapp played an important role in my career.
"He was almost there since the beginning when I joined Spurs - he joined us after seven or eight games.
"He had great influence on us, on our team, our playing style and me. He gave me a freedom, he showed me the trust from the beginning which is always important for the young players.
"He was a great coach, great manager, very nice person. I had great relationship with him, he was very important for me."
