I was there when Tommy Doc became our manager. Biggest crowds I've ever known us have. Can remember playing on a terrible night game against Plymouth. We won with a Tiler goal before 16,500 at Millmoor. I checked the facts. 8,400 home fans for Warnocks 1st game at the NYS. Tommy Doc's 1st game at Millmoor crowd increased by 9,000. As managers has Warnock ever managed clubs like Chelsea or Man U or won a FA Cup. I know who'll be remembered in years to come.
The Doc arriving pulled my dad back to Millmoor. He returned taking me and my brother. Our first game was Preston, around new year. We won, and started a mini revival. Alas, not enough to avoid the drop. Our cup run to the fifth round was fantastic.
We also had a number of high profile friendliest, against Bratislava and Celtic. Never a dull moment with the Doc.
