Tottenham Hotspur have announced that plans to re-inflate club manager Harry Redknapp's face have been called off. A spokesperson for the North London club revealed yesterday, the day that came before today, that an engineer working on the specially designed 'face' pump had been seriously injured when a release valve failed to operate correctly during high pressure testing.
The managing director of Spanish pneumatic engineering firm, 'El Blow', confirmed that due to formidable safety concerns all work on the pump commissioned by Mr Redknapp has ceased.
Harry Redknapp, who is said to be very disappointed, said during a pre-match press conference that his thoughts were with the brave engineers who had been injured by the experimental 'face' pump.
