Neil Warnock, born on December 1, 1948, in Sheffield, England, began his professional playing career as a winger in 1967 with Chesterfield. He played for several clubs including Rotherham United, Hartlepool (where he won Player of the Season in 1972), Scunthorpe United, Aldershot, Barnsley, York City, and Crewe Alexandra, making 327 league appearances and scoring 36 goals before retiring from league football in 1979. His playing career continued briefly with non-league Burton Albion as a player-manager.
Warnock’s managerial career began in 1980 with Gainsborough Trinity. He quickly achieved success, winning promotion to the Football League with Scarborough in 1987. He led Notts County from the Third Division to the First Division through successive promotions in 1990 and 1991. Subsequently, he managed Huddersfield Town, securing promotion to the new First Division in 1995, and Plymouth Argyle, guiding them to Second Division promotion in 1996. After spells with Oldham Athletic and Bury, he joined his boyhood club, Sheffield United, in 1999. There, he led the team to the semi-finals of both the League Cup and FA Cup in 2003, and achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2006. His tenure at Sheffield United marked a significant period, despite their relegation in 2007.
Following his departure from Sheffield United, Warnock managed Crystal Palace, Queens Park Rangers, Leeds United, and had a second stint with Crystal Palace. He led QPR to the Premier League in 2011. In 2016, he managed Rotherham United, successfully keeping them in the Championship. He was appointed manager of Cardiff City in October 2016, achieving his record eighth promotion to the Premier League with them in the 2017–18 season. After leaving Cardiff in 2019, he managed Middlesbrough from 2020 to 2021, where he broke the record for the most games managed in English professional football with 1,626 matches. Although he announced his retirement in April 2022, he returned to management periodically, including spells with Huddersfield Town in 2023 and an interim period with Aberdeen in 2024, before becoming a football advisor for Torquay United in May 2024.
