Warnock relishes Spireites return
Controversial football personality Neil Warnock is looking forward to returning to Chesterfield to attend the club’s popular sporting dinner.
Warnock scored two goals in 24 appearances for Chesterfield after starting out as a winger with the Spireites in 1967. He went on to play for seven other clubs, including Rotherham United and Barnsley.
He then enjoyed a colourful career in management with a host of clubs including Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, QPR and Leeds United, often clashing with officials, opposition managers and players.
Looking ahead to his appearance at the All-Star Events dinner at the Proact Stadium on Thursday, October 1, Warnock said: “I am really looking forward to going back to Chesterfield. When I was asked if I would talk at a dinner, I jumped at the chance because I have fond memories of Chesterfield and I know chairman Dave Allen and chief executive Chris Turner.
“I will talk about the run-ins I had with various high-profile figures over the years and there will also be an opportunity for those attending to ask me questions. It promises to be a great night.”
The event, which starts at 7pm for 7.30pm and includes a superb three-course meal, also features further entertainment from hilarious comedian Max Pressure. Tickets, priced at just £39, can be booked by phoning 01246 269300 (ext 4153) or emailing richardkew@chesterfield-fc.co.uk.
