In 1980 he took on his first managerial role with Northern Premier League side Gainsborough Trinity, and has since managed a number of clubs, including Notts County, Oldham Athletic and Bury, before finding his true home with Sheffield United. Perhaps the Blades' most famous fan, Warnock's loyalty to Sheffield United is legendary. Having been appointed in 1999, he became the sixth longest-serving manager in league football. In 2003, Warnock saw United to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and the League Cup as well as the final of the First Division play-off. He cemented his place in the Blades' history books by leading them back to the Premiership in April 2006, after twelve years in the First Division. He finally parted company with Sheffield United in May 2007.Neil Warnock tells his story with his trademark humour and passion, offering a fascinating insight into the journey of a football manager from the Northern Premier League to the Premier League.

There are individuals in sports that only come around so often. People that get everyone talking whether it be how much they admire them or how much they dislike them; Neil Warnock fits this category perfectly. Controversy follows him everywhere, so it is fitting that he should produce an autobiography that i'm sure even those that hate him so much would be just a little intrigued to read.

This is the story of one of english domestic football's most succesful and controversial managers. It charts his life from humble beginnings in Sheffield through an unglamorous but respectable playing career to a managerial career littered with controversy, success and disappointment.

The dream of the Sheffield born man and Blades fan was always to manage his beloved Sheffield United and this dream was realised. He was hated by sections of his own teams support often but his team battled adversity to reach the promised land of the premiership - only to be denied by an extremely controversial turn of events involving Carlos Tevez, West Ham United and Manchester United which sparked a nationwide debate. This was followed by betrayal on the part of the board at the club.

This book is full of detailed accounts of success on the football pitch and confrontation off it. Whatever anybody thinks of the man and his somewhat dubious regard for other people, he has a proven track record and is fascinating to read about or watch. Anybody that his seen some of his bordering on hilarious interviews where he verbally attacks the referee of a match will attest to this view.

It is a superbly well written collabration of the minds of Neil Warnock himself and Oliver Holt of the Daily Mirror and should be read by anyone that has ever laughed at, got angered by or has been inspired by this controversial man in the game of football.
