NEIL WARNOCK stole the show at Wembley as he savaged one groundskeeper before bizarrely trying to interview another on live TV.

The legendary manager was at the home of English football for Sunday’s Championship playoff final between Leeds and Southampton.

The latter secured a 1-0 win to seal an immediate return to the Premier League.

And Warnock was on punditry duty for Sky Sports to give his reaction.

But the 75-year-old, who managed games at Huddersfield Town and Aberdeen this season, had a hilarious interaction with two Wembley groundskeepers.

As Warnock was delivering his views, he was first left irritated by one worker walking past while mowing the turf.

And he then tried to get a second person to give a few words on air, leaving his fellow presenters in stitches.

Warnock said before turning to the first groundskeeper: “The three team’s that have come up… excuse me, could you be a bit louder please, if you don’t mind?

Warnock then resumed: “Jesus. Can you believe that?”

Another groundskeeper then came along with a lawn mower.

And as he passed by, Warnock leaned over holding the mic out.

He said: “Do you want to say a few words?”


Warnock turned back to camera before adding: “I’ve seen it all now. I tell you what, I’m good at grass cutting now. I forgot even what I was saying!”

Viewers found the moment hilarious, with one saying: “Warnock should be a regular on Sky.”

Another declared: “Legend, gotta love him.”

One noted: “Masterstroke to get him there for the final.”

Another added: “Warnock for PM.”

The fan favourite retired from football management in April after an eight-game spell in Scotland with Aberdeen.

However, he returned to the beautiful game this month as a football advisor at former club Torquay United.

In total, Warnock has had 19 separate managerial spells, spending the most time at Sheffield United, Burton Albion and Notts County.

It means he’s overseen a staggering 1,960 matches in the dugout.

And Warnock’s enjoyed plenty of success too, winning several playoff finals and even the Championship title in 2011 with QPR.
