In light of Neil Warnock’s recent announcement of his retirement from football, we recall the moment he mentioned not joining us back in 1992 as one of his biggest regrets.
NOT CHELSEA
“Probably my biggest regret, not Chelsea, I turned Chelsea down, it didn’t feel right Chelsea, the traffic, the motorway, working for Ken Bates, it didn’t feel right at that stage of my career.”
ONE DISAPPOINTMENT
“But I should have walked out at Notts County and gone to Sunderland. I just didn’t want to let the players down at Notts County, that’s probably my one disappointment.”
BIGGEST REGRET
“I like Bob Murray, I thought Sunderland was a fabulous club. My assistant Mick Jones was a mad Sunderland fan and that was probably the biggest regret I’ve had in my career not going there at the right time.”
RIGHT TIME
“That would have been the right time, but I played with Malcolm Crosby at Aldershot and he was a lovely lad and I didn’t want to jump on his toes.”
92’ FA CUP
“I remember saying to Bob ‘wait until you get knocked out of the FA cup and I’ll come’ and they ended up at Wembley!”
