I met Neil Warnock once. Briefly.
I was on a weekend golf society trip in Derbyshire. On the Sunday I was strolling through reception and he was there having just settled his bill. I never meant to say it, but I am so used to the name and so, in a friendly smiling way as I passed by he looked at me and we nodded acknowledgement to each other and I said "Hello Colin".
he looked a tad shocked. But it was not until I was about 50 yards down the corridor that I realised what I had said - whooops!
