Neil Warnock 1999-2007

Neil Warnock is perhaps the most familiar face in the modern history of Sheffield United; although never a player for United he has always been a fan and was born and raised in Sheffield. He has significantly developed the reputation of the club and the city as manager guiding them into the premiership as well as an FA cup semi-final. Warnock also encapsulates the Sheffield ethos of hard work furthered by his background as a son of steel worker who had worked in industry himself briefly. A man never short of a comment or two:
"If we go up I'll even guarantee that I'll drown my players in champagne - non vintage - to their hearts' content."
