Rafa is a cult hero. He is what supporting Spurs is all about.

I was just about to post this. What a legend. In his prime, which was before us, I'd say he was better than Eirksen; although Eirksen is yet to hit his prime.
Probably second place for me in my favourite Johnny Foreigners, just behind Jurgen
Loved him and what an impact. If only he his hammy's were bigger than a hotdog he could have lasted a full +90mins.
One thing I really like about him is what seems to be a genuine affection for us, no PR bollocks ensuring he gets a few quid each year for making appearances.
He's a real star too: Ajax, Hamburg, Madrid, the guy did across the leagues. But he seemed to find a real home here
Love the guy. Was devastated when he left.
Just a shame he was never fully fit or could not last a full 90 minutes.
Did he beat Sylvie?
Apparently. Also alleged to have shagged Khalid boularohz,( ex chav centre half) or however you spell it, wife .
Isn’t he still with her?
he's in a relationship with Dutch pro handball player Estavana Polman. She plays professionaly in Denmark and was a big factor in him moving to play in Denmark for his last years
Also the last 'true' marking signing on dead-line day also
'Arry's finest moment perhaps
Why? Legend has it that Levy had the opportunity to sign him in a cut price last minute deal, and asked Redknapp if he'd like him. The likely extent to which he played a part in it was to say "yeah".
"Even though i was playing for the worlds biggest team, it was always my boyhood dream to run about a bit under 'The Redknapp'."
That's what Redknapp said himself. And he was never shy about bigging himself up, so whilst you don't generally trust what comes out his gob, it does imply its true
He left us way too soon. But he has said that himself. His biggest mistake in his career was leaving us he once said. I was so fucking proud to see a fellow Dutchman at Spurs doing so well as he did.
Thanks Rafa for all the memories at Ajax and Spurs and all the best.
I always blamed his ex wife who worked in Germany for Rafa’s Spurs exit but I actually think it’s more because of AVB....
