Sky Mobile has recruited former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp for its Transfer Deadline Day activation.


Redknapp, who’s deadline day drive-by interviews become iconic, was seen in London’s Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus in a specially designed ‘Talk to ‘Arry’ car door installation, reciting some of his best stories and promoting a special Sky Mobile ‘Transfer Deadline Day deal’ for new customers.

Redknapp has recently signed up as Sky Mobile’s ‘switching ambassador’ and is promoting the benefits of changing network providors.

When asked about the most memorable Transfer Deadline Day moments of all time, Harry Redknapp’s interviews from his car window came up top, followed by the former manager packing of Benjani’s backs to aid the move from Portsmouth to Manchester City in 2008.

Sky Mobile’s Switching Ambassador, Harry Redknapp, commented,“You’re bound to ruffle some feathers when you switch teams, but switching mobile networks is far easier than switching clubs – take it from me!

“I have fond memories of transfer deadline day, in fact I miss it so much that when Sky Mobile gave me the call up, I jumped at the chance of hanging out of a car door window again. Sandra isn’t happy about it, as she thought my days of sitting in a car till 11 o’clock at night were over, but here I am giving the public my top tips on switching.”
