On the Football Daily, 72 plus, the EFL podcast with Aaron Paul and Joby McEnough.

Very special guest with us today, Joby, an absolute legend of the game, not just the football

league, but English football in general. Yeah, love him or hate him. You know who he is. Well, I've probably loved him and hated him at various points of my career. I'm very much in the love part of it now. But I'm delighted that he's joined us today. And I'm hoping it's because we've got a decent relationship now. He used to send people out to smash me all over the pitch. But we've gotten a little better now. So yeah, can't wait for it. You've got to watch yourself walking outside that studio. Chris Morgan's probably lurking. Nearly 2,000 games managed for United's, a town twice, a palace and athletic, and a city, a miracle worker in football and with feet.

Corns, calluses, but ingrowing toenails are a speciality.

Eight promotions, five times he signed Paddy Kenny,

countless chairman, a lot of wine drunk along the way,

and one big row with Kevin Muscat, maybe one with Nuno Espirito Santo as well.

This man is the ultimate definition of hated, adored, never ignored.

But beneath it all, is a husband, father and a man who loves to drive his tractor.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Neil Warnock.

How are you, Neil?

Yeah, very good thing.

I thought the 72 plus, I thought that was meaning I was over the age of 72. So, yeah, it's a good one. It's nice to be. When I was asked by, when I know Jobby was on, trust me, it was the one, probably the only one I would do it this time of year. And I'm looking forward to it. I've always spoke while I jobie and enjoyed working with him. It's my show too, Neil, but yeah, thanks for that. Sorry, Aaron. He didn't have loads of players out to get you for sort of the best part of 15, 20 years, did he? So I think this is a little bit of payback between right backs and left backs just coming after me and trying to take my kneecaps off. I only used to say, slow him down. I't say anything nasty. Well, I know lads that have played for you, Neil, and I think it was a little bit more firm than slow him down. Tell us about the young Whippet that was Joby McEnough from the opposition view. To be fair, when I watched him, one thing he always knew, he was always going to get a crossing with either foot. Because fullbacks never went tight enough on him. And I could never understood it because I was a winger. And I used to hate it when fullbacks got tight with me and kicked me and that. So I used to just, when we played against him, I used to say, right, Macenough's your man today. We are going to play 10 against 10.

You stick to him and if you go sit toilet before half time, you go with him. I didn't probably use those words. But it's on the similar lines. You follow him up that tunnel. Which club did you manage where you're like, you know what, I've got the best dressing room. I've got the best camaraderie. you've got the best unit.

Because I remember watching that Sheffield United documentary,

the year you missed out on the playoffs. And that was a really fascinating insight. It's very, very unique because there was a sort of a gap between where people didn't make football documentaries. I think it was after Oriented for a Fiverr with John Sitton because it destroyed his career.

But you gave such an insight and it was phenomenal.

What I did there is I trusted the guy.

They were a company from Leeds and I trusted the guy.

I'd worked with the guy who was in charge and in the media.

And I said to him, look, I don't want this because I hate, absolutely hate documentaries when I watch them like that. And I said, I don't want this to be rubbish. What I want you to do is I'm going to be myself. I'm not going to think about anything that I've got around my neck during what I'm the match day or whatever it is. But because I'm going to do it that way, you have to let me have a look at it before we do anything. And if there's something in my language or something else that I don't like or some of it else in a certain situation, we take it away. But I don't want to lessen how I am as a manager. And we didn't. I did exactly, I mean, some of the show, I mean, poor old Morgs.
