It was the 2nd round of the FA Cup on 11th Dec 1971 at York Street in front of 4,738 fans that formed the destiny of Neil Warnock.
A journeyman winger who played for eight different clubs, Sheffield-born Warnock instantly recalls the moment when, as a 24-year-old, he first considered management.
"It was Hartlepool, 1972," he says. "We got beat at Boston in the FA Cup and [manager] Len Ashurst called us all in the next day and started on every player and what he thought of them. "He got to me and I'll never forget what he said - what we should have done and why we let him down and the club down.
"I knew I could never get to the top. I wasn't good enough. I was a quick, brainless winger. "I realised the only way I could get to the top was as a manager. I loved talking when I was playing and telling people what to do."
