On Burton Albion
Burton is yet another of Warnock’s former squad, and he is full of glowing praise for the club
NEIL WARNOCK:
"I was there six years."
" They’ve gone under the radar not had the praise they deserve. When I was there they were the Man Utd of non-league. The fans are still there, the older ones, my first team used to play Derby in the Bass Vase in pre-season, they played their third team, 2,000 people watching, the highlight of pre-season, so to see them beat Derby a few weeks ago is an incredible story."
" We would train part-time two nights a week. You can’t forget how far they’ve come. They are one step away from the PL, it’s incredible. The chairman is a lesson to every chairman, supporting managers. Nigel’s had tough times at the start, he was there for ten years at the start, but he’s a thoughtful chairman, it’s his club, his daughter and son work there, it’s a super cub. It’s quite special to play against them at this level."
