Q: HARRY, you are one of the most well-known figures in the football world. You have a passion for horse racing and have many horses in training, tell us when your love of horse racing begun?

HR: I was brought up in the east end of London and my nan would go along our street and take bets on racing. We would sit with her at 6pm and listen to the days results on the radio. We loved those days and i've loved racing ever since

Q: Horse racing seems a popular sport that many players/managers in football over the years have a big interest in. Why is racing so popular in the football world do you think?

HR: When I started at West Ham tbe players then were racing mad and would be having a bet on a Saturday. It's a sport that over the years I've been in football that has always been a big interest to players and managers alike.
