Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker has said that the club's success this season is in no small part down to manager Harry Redknapp.

Parker, who has been the engine room of Spurs' midfield this season since his summer switch from West Ham, also said that Redknapp's presence at White Hart Lane was one of the main reasons for his move to North London.

"Harry makes you feel good. What you see is what you get with Harry. There are some managers who you think I don't quite know them. Like Mourinho," the 31-year-old said in the Daily Telegraph.

"You'd need to speak to people who've been in Mourinho's company to understand him. But with Harry, it's him. He was one of the main reasons I wanted to sign.

"He's a great manager. He gives you freedom. 'Go out and play'."

Parker and Spurs travel to Stoke in the Premier League tomorrow afternoon.
