Neil Warnock: The players were 'drained' after Sala tragedy

The former Bluebirds boss has spoken one year on from that fateful day.

“I think it shocked the players a lot more than people thought behind the scenes.
I could see quite a lot of the players how drained they were and how emotional they were.
But it was difficult for me and it did bring home how important the family is.
Football is important and we all want to win at football but I don’t think there’s anything more important than your family.
I never envisaged or ever experienced anything quite like it in my whole life, let alone just in my football career.”
