Published Date: 17 May 2008
Harry Redknapp hailed his finest hour as 'a dream come true'.
The Pompey boss ensured he and his team's place in history by guiding them to FA Cup glory with a 1-0 win over Cardiff.

An emotional Redknapp was close to tears as he spoke of the club's success afterwards.

He said: 'It's been a difficult time for me off the pitch.

'But this has been a fantastic day for me, my family, the fans and everyone at this club.

'I have a very close family and it's a good day for them.

'It's a dream come true for me.

'I love all the players.

'We've won the Cup and that's what matters.'

Redknapp praised Cardiff for their battling spirit.

He said: 'They put balls into the box and made it difficult for us.

'There are no easy games. They were up for it.'

Pompey have now achieved European football for the first time in the club's history, with a spot in the UEFA Cup next season.

Redknapp: 'It's brilliant that we're in Europe. Brilliant.'

What a Day, What a Season! So many congratulations to Harry Redknapp for all that he has achieved at Pompey. Surely deserving of the 'Freedom of the City'.

Now we'll have Pompey competing in the Charity Shield and in Europe, fantastic, as much as we dreamed I wondered if I would ever see my beloved blues lift the cup, qualify for Europe and even contest the shield, but It's gonna happen! Yeha, I'm so stoked.

Congratulations one and all. PLAY UP POMPEY

Should salary caps be introduced to stop the threat of a financial crisis in football?
Yes - our game is in danger of going bust
Yes - but only because it will give Pompey more of a chance to compete with the big four
It would be too hard to implement
No - leave football how it is
