Neil Warnock wants Bristol City fans to boo his minute's silence for when he passes away

Neil Warnock clarified his bizarre request ahead of taking charge of Huddersfield Town's game against Birmingham City.

Neil Warnock has once again stressed his bizarre request for Bristol City fans to BOO his minute's silence when he passes away.

The 74-year-old is back in management having been appointed Huddersfield Town manager for the rest of the 2022/23 season.

He returns for his second stint at the club, with the Championship outfit hoping he can keep them in the league as they precariously sit in 23rd in the table.

They've won just seven league games this season and are four points off safety ahead of Warnock taking charge of their home clash against Birmingham City.

The Terriers then face Burnley and Coventry City before the veteran boss resumes his rivalry with Bristol City, who have had a love-hate relationship throughout his managerial career.

And speaking ahead of his side's game on Saturday, he wants Bristol City fans to give him a minute's boo as a mark of respect, instead of a moment of silence.

"Can I just clarify that? I'd appreciate you putting this down," he told ITV's Arif Ahmed.

"I only want Bristol City fans to call me a proper name, all the rest fans they can have a silent one or they can clap me or whatever they want when I pass away.

"But with Bristol City fans it wouldn't be right them clapping or being quiet, they've always been what they're going to call me."

It's not the first time Warnock has revealed his request for when he dies.

Speaking several years ago, he said: "When I pass away, I don’t want any silence or clapping - just a minute’s booing at clubs that hated me."

Warnock has been involved in some legendary and infamous tussles with the West Country team.

From Crystal Palace's crushing play-off semi-final defeat back in 2008 to Freddie Sear's 'ghost goal' at Ashton Gate, among others.

Warnock's side will host Nigel Pearson's charges on March 7 in what could be another eventful affair.
