While managers at the top and bottom of the Championship readied for a nervy final day of the season on Saturday, with play-off spots and relegation on the line, Neil Warnock was having a very different kind of experience.
"We went on the Pullman from Liskeard right out to Oxford, had a champagne breakfast, stopped for two hours at Oxford and had a five-course meal on the way back," he tells WalesOnline. "That day, I just kept thinking of all the managers in the Championship, the final day of the season! Relegation, promotion, did I miss it? No! I didn't miss that final day!"
There have been very few final days he has missed over the last 55 years as player and manager, but, at 73, he has finally called it a day.
