Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock compares himself to Coronation Street character
The football manager said he used to watch the programme ‘all the time’.
Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock has compared himself to longstanding Coronation Street character Roy Cropper.
Speaking during a press conference, the football manager said: “Up the Roy Cropper.”
Warnock said he used to watch the ITV soap “all the time”, but has since “lost track” of it.
“I was walking out of here with a carrier bag and I was thinking, ‘I look like’… you know who I mean,” he said.
After struggling to remember the character’s name, Warnock was prompted by a journalist taking part in the press conference.
“That’s it son, Roy Cropper,” he said.
“Well done son. Up the Roy Cropper.”
Coronation Street’s Twitter page responded by sharing a picture of the character, played by David Neilson, next to an image of him.
Neilson first appeared in Coronation Street in 1995.
