Neil Warnock's message to Bristol City supporters as he looks forward to a 'tasty' reunion

Neil Warnock is relishing a "tasty" reunion with Bristol City supporters as he aims to "ruffle a few feathers" in Huddersfield Town's quest to avoid relegation.

The Terriers boss is the pantomime villain City fans love to hate following a long and memorable rivalry that dates back to 2008 when former City defender Jamie McCombe scored a 97th-minute equaliser against his Crystal Palace side. That was reignited three months later as City knocked them out of the play-offs before Freddie Sears' infamous ghost goal when Gary Johnson was in charge.

The feud continued when Lee Johnson was in the dugout, with Warnock branding his counterpart as an "absolute disgrace" following comments made by the City head coach to beat his side through "aggression, good football or intimidation." Warnock would later declare: "When I pass away, I don’t want clapping or a minute’s silence, I want a minute’s booing at Bristol City.”
