Fan names baby after Pompey boss

Portsmouth Boss Harry Redknapp
Harry Redknapp has led Portsmouth to their first FA Cup final in 69 years

A Portsmouth football fan who gave birth shortly after seeing the team book an FA Cup final place has named her baby in tribute to Harry Redknapp.

Katie Harman, 21, had returned home to Havant after watching the team's semi-final win over West Bromwich Albion at Wembley on 5 April.

Within hours she went into labour and gave birth to 8lb 10oz (3.9kg) boy.

In tribute to the team's manager, Ms Harman and partner Ronnie Payne, 25, have named their third child Harry.

The Pompey boss has led the side to their first FA Cup final in 69 years.

They will return to Wembley to face Cardiff City in the final on 17 May.
