Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp knows he will only be able to enjoy his 66th birthday if his side win at Premier League relegation rivals Southampton on Saturday.
.
The day is set to be a memorable one whatever happens, however, as Redknapp is sure to be subjected to cat-calls, or worse, from home supporters who do not like him for a variety of reasons.
.
Redknapp had two spells at Portsmouth, Southampton's local rivals, and led them to glory in the FA Cup in 2008.
.
But it was his spell in charge of Southampton in between, from December 2004 to December 2005, that cemented a poor relationship with the supporters at St Mary's as they ended a 27-year spell in the top flight under his leadership.
.
Relegation seems likely for his current club as well as they will kick off bottom of the Premier League and seven points adrift of safety against a side currently three points and two places on the safe side of the relegation zone.
.
"It's my birthday on March 2 and I thought 'There's no better way to have my birthday than stand there and get abused for 90 minutes,'" Redknapp joked after his side's most recent disappointment, a 2-0 home loss to Manchester United.
.
"They'll be calling me 'Scummer from Portsmouth'." Yet there is one chapter of his south coast past that Redknapp would be happy to relive, as the second time he managed Portsmouth saw him able to resuscitate a seemingly doomed side just in time to avoid the drop.
A win is what they need. The season is winding up bit by bit
