They said: 'We can't tell you, you've got to go out, you've got to leave now'.
So when I saw Sandra, it made it ten times worse as I thought there was a problem."I was terrified I was going to lose her and I nearly didn't get on the plane. It was the first time she'd seen me cry."Redknapp subsequently launched a sepsis awareness campaign following Sandra's recovery from the condition.The couple have been married since 1968 and share two children together (Image: Getty Images)In 2022, alarm bells rang once more after Sandra experienced breathing difficulties following a bout of Covid earlier that year.He told The Mirror: "The symptoms weren't good, if I'm truthful.
