Lunch with a Legend: Harry Redknapp & Malky Mackay

Our Lunch with a Legend in April featured recently retired Premier League manager Harry Redknapp, and up and coming manager Malky Mackay, who succeeded in leading Cardiff City to the promised land in 2013. The venue was the stunning Gibson Hall, a building with a rich history dating back over 300 years. One of London’s finest pieces of architecture, Gibson Hall’s elegant facades and magnificent domed ceilings, certainly provided a suitable backdrop for proceedings.

Our VIP guests enjoyed a welcome drink and some quality time with our speakers, before settling down to a superb three course lunch, served with style and efficiency by the venue’s attentive staff. Lunch was a leisurely affair, and by the time our special guests took to the stage, everyone was in the mood for some top banter. As ever, Harry did not disappoint, and was in scintillating form; he seems to have a limitless supply of jokes, juicy anecdotes and patter, which had the guests enthralled. His tales of relegation scraps, European football adventures, and working with the maverick genius Paolo Di Canio will live long in the memory.
