'A fund of well-told anecdotes.' (Telegraph )
'One striking theme of his books is that this is a man who has rolled up his sleeves at every level of the game and relished it.' (The Times )

Product Description
Renowned for his outspoken, colourful character, Neil Warnock here exclusively tells the story of his life in football.
Warnock began his career as a player in 1967, and over the next eleven years played with a number of clubs including Scunthorpe United and Barnsley as a winger. 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, Bury and, of course, Sheffield United.
Perhaps the Blades' most famous fan, Warnock's relationship with 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.

Neil Warnock will never be politically correct, but should be commended for his forthright views and his devil may care approach to expressing them.
A player himself in the lower divisions he certainly doesn't boast about his ability as he describes himself as 'brainless' and a 'journeyman'.
A highly astute manager, he has worked his way through non-league football and the lower echelons of the football league with much aplomb.
He's succeeded with sometimes no funds available to buy players, or at best-had very little money ever available to him, at any of his clubs.
He's mastered the use of loan deals and by buying( on the cheap) home-grown players who are getting on a bit, but still have lots of experience.
This in itself is significant in today's greatly inflated transfer market, where there is a widely held belief that you cannot have managerial success without megapots of money!
He then motivates his players to getting the best from them, and fosters a team spirit that may not be possible from a multinational team.
His chapter on referees is a good read in itself, and he pulls no punches on who he respects in this field, and who he doesn't!!!
A very well written book, that is expressed in an honest, forthright fashion throughout.( Never more apparent when he tells a certain ex-liverpool player and sky pundit to "f**k off pinochio)
I believe it is Warnock's outspoken, and perhaps abrasive nature (to some) that has been the reason why he's not the manager of a top premiership club.
Perhaps like Brian Clough, he'd be a worthy candidate to manage England but never will. Foreign management seems to be flavour of the month these days for national jobs.
Warnock's passion for the game, and the extraordinary degree of empathy he shows his players shines through on every page.
A very enjoyable and recommended read throughout.

Wonderful. He's never managed my club, but Neil I love you. I bought this and the Ian Holloway book Ollie at the same time. Both men are honest, delightful, and people who don't even like football would adore both as human beings. Only one of mthose has a book that shows this - Made in Sheffield. This book was wonderful, written well, the stories were fabulous and forthright. Imagine having a manager who loved your club, hated your enemy, shared your passions, humour. This is that man. This is that book. QPR are blessed. Neil come manage my club one day. Please.

This is a great book,one of those that once you have picked it up, you cant put it down. Just a shame that Neil Warnock is no longer at bramhall lane, what a legend.
