Neil Warnock takes over as new Leeds United manager this weekend boasting a wealth of experience.
Neil is in his 25th year of management in the league, having first guided to Scarborough to promotion to the Football League back in 1987.
During that time, the 63-year-old has managed nine clubs and has won a whopping seven promotions since guiding Scarborough to the first ever Conference Championship trophy.
Neil's most recent achievement was guiding Queens Park Rangers to the Premier League last season, a feat he also achieved with Sheffield United in 2005/06, via the Play-Offs.
Neil has proved something of a promotion specialist throughout his career and he also enjoyed double success at Notts County, where he lifted the club two divisions to the top-flight in 1991, and he also won promotion via the Play-Offs at both Huddersfield and Plymouth Argyle.
Neil is perhaps best known to Leeds fans for his eight-year stint at Sheffield United and while at Bramall Lane, he guided the Blades to both the FA Cup semi-final and the League Cup semi-final. They also reached the Play-Offs in 2003 when they were unsuccessful.
As a player, Neil made around 400 league appearances and after starting with Chesterfield he had stints with Rotherham United, Hartlepool United, Scunthorpe United, Aldershot, Barnsley, York City and Crewe Alexandra.
From there, he first cut his teeth in management at Gainsborough and Burton Albion before moving on to Scarborough.
