NEIL WARNOCK:
“I had always known Stan Ternent was a d*ckhead"

Stan Ternent
To say the pair didn’t get on would be a complete understatement. Ternent claimed that Warnock sent assistant Kevin Blackwell to listen to his half-time team talk, and it spiralled from there.
As well as revealing that he “wouldn’t p*ss on him if he were on fire”, Warnock recalled this brilliant tale in his autobiography
“I had always known Stan Ternent was a d*ckhead, but when Sheffield United played Burnley in 2001 he behaved like a deranged lunatic.
“I’d told my assistant Kevin Blackwell to keep an eye on Ternent. I knew he’d be trying to put pressure on the ref. So when Ternent came round the corner, frothing at the mouth, Blackie told him to leave it out.
“That was all the encouragement Ternent needed. He launched himself at Blackie and butted him. Blackwell swung a right hook and smacked him on the nose.
“He sploshed him good and proper. In Ternent’s autobiography he tells how he gave Blackwell a good hiding. But we saw the incident differently. Blackie had a little cut on his lip. Ternent was in bits.”
