The man who led Scarborough FC to the football league in 1987 says he sees echo's of that team in the current Scarborough Dressing Room

Legendary Scarborough Football Manager Neil Warnock says he's been massively impressed with the team's performance in National league North.

Warnock made history with Scarborough FC in 1987 when under his leadership they became the first club to get promoted to the football league.

Speaking on Paddy at Breakfast - Neil says he sees echo's of that success in the way Scarborough Athletic have performed this season.

Neil Warnock says he's been following Scarborough Athletic's progress since they won promotion to National League North last season and says there are parallels with the team of '87.

Neil Warnock is returning to Scarborough in November with his hugely successful ‘Are You With Me’ tour.

The former Boro manager, who infamously secured Scarborough FC’s promotion to the Football League in 1987, bagged eight promotions in his record-breaking managerial career that spanned over 1,600 games and took in clubs like Sheffield United, Leeds United and more recently, Middlesbrough.

Warnock will be joined on stage by a host of former Boro players on the night, whilst Sky Sports presenter and former Leeds United midfielder David Prutton will be putting the questions to Warnock.

Neil says :

“I love coming back to Scarborough, I’ve been back many times since leaving the club all them years ago – including the well documented pre-season visits with some of my clubs since.

“I’m loving the tour so far. I really enjoy interacting with the audience and hopefully we’ll see plenty of Scarborough fans in November.”

The show is at Scarborough Spa on November 19th.
