Taken in the days when 'Arry Redknapp had just the one chin and featuring a couple of ex-Charlton players. David Wagstaffe's wife looks like she's just come off the set of 'Hairspray'.

Tommy Taylors missus looks like she's 12?

Another thing the introdution of the premiership improved..............the quality of players wives.

cafcfan

Is it my imagination or do footballers have many more daughters than sons?

Oggy Red

Half the wives look like trannies .....

JWADDICK

Harry looks like an extra from "attack of the 50' woman". She is huge !

Yes cos they are all such "natural" beauties now....

That is one massive head of hair. Mrs Simpson is a looker.

Blucher

That's why she is reputedly a better finisher than Darren Bent

Not forgetting the ex Charlton manager.

Good point (although I've been trying to forget him)

ive googled her as she looks now... its safe to say she's had a bit of work done.

Redknapp looks like Jay from The Inbetweeners in that picture!

Why do they feel the need to be photographed with their domestic appliances? Being a bonified 90s kid I don't know if this was a common thing in 70s family portraits

Chivers married Sigourney Weaver!?

No, men were never to be seen in the kitchen. Ever.

Although i only know this from reading about it, i grew up in the 90s too.

My Dad had a map from the living room to the kitchen but still couldn't find it, the kitchen that is not the map :-0

Before I read it was Harry I thought it was David Icke.

MrOneLung

Pat Jennings - or is it George Osborne ?

Fiiiiiish

Now I see why Redknapp's Mrs was better than Bent! Must be able to chase a ball for hours, she doesn't look happy though, sitting under the window while the blonde bird moves into the centre of the picture.

Nice to see Harry made sure his tax advisor was included in the photo.

What has Mick Mills got on his feet? Alun Evans and his wife look like they have interchangeable hair.

Good to see Rosie Redknapp make an appearance.

Serious kitchen appliances were status symbols in the 60s and 70s. My granny didn't even own a fridge and I am not 50 for another few weeks. If you had a washer or a fridge freezer or, perish the thought, a dishwasher in the 70s you clearly had some dosh and presumably showed it off. Cue the joke about brides wearing white so that the dishwasher matched the cooker and the fridge. Sorry ladies. :-)
