Well, who would Adam and Eve it, those malicious rumours might just have been true! No repercussions though, it was just 'arry being 'arry.
Harry Redknapp admits to 'breaking all rules' when he signed Jermain Defoe for Portsmouth from Tottenham… but former Spurs and West Ham boss is set to escape FA punishment for tapping up.

Harry Redknapp has publicly admitted to ‘breaking all the rules’ when he signed Jermain Defoe for Portsmouth.
In a new documentary about Defoe, which is released at the end of the month, the former England striker is asked how his 2008 move from Tottenham came about and says: ‘It was Harry Redknapp. I remember getting a phone call.’
Redknapp then accepts that Defoe’s recollections are ‘probably’ correct and that he was ‘breaking all the rules’. The ex-Portsmouth boss adds: ‘If he was under contract at Tottenham, he can’t be talking to me. I could be called up before the FA over this.’
Although Redknapp retired from management in 2017, the FA would still have the power to sanction the 76-year-old.
However, the governing body have indicated they are prepared to turn a blind eye to Redknapp’s apparent admission of tapping up, with sources telling Mail Sport they have no plans to investigate the matter further having watched the footage.
Shock. Horror. 'arry broke all the rules!
