The King of the Im a Celebrity Junglepromised to give Yakubu the money if he scored 20 goals during the 2003/04 Premier League season after Pompey had been promoted the previous season.Redknapp told talkSPORT: He was playing in Israel and came over on trial. The first day training he scored four goals in a practice match and we ended up signing him.We got promoted from the Championship and we were in the Premier League. I said to the Yak at the start of the season: How many goals do you think you will score this year? Premier goals, not cup goals.He said 20.I said: 20 league goals?!He went: I think so gaffer yeah.If you get 20 league goals I will give you 20,000. Me, personally.2

Anyway the season goes on and he is going okay. Last game of the season we played Middlesbrough at home and we won 5-0. The Yak has scored four goals.He comes in after the game: Hey Yak you were fantastic today, I said. What a performance, great goals.He said: Yeah but I should have scored the other goal.I said: What goal, dont worry about that you got four goals.He said: But I have 19 goals and one more goal and I would have won your money. I went: Oh my god. I didnt realise that. I would have subbed you way before that. I said no way would you have stayed on the pitch. I would have had you off the pitch straight away.I forgot about the bet and I didnt know he had 19 goals. I would have subbed him straight away, Jim, there was no way he was going to have my 20,000 off me.

I bet Yakubu 20,000 of my own money he wouldnt score 20 goals. I didnt know he was on 19 goals – Id have subbed him straight away!Brilliant Harry @Redknapp story pic.twitter.com/5kq4VADfHN— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) December 21, 2018
