Neil Warnock was wearing nothing but his pants when furious goalkeeper confronted him

dailystar.co.uk:

England goalkeeper was attacked on the pitch.The 73-year-old recently announced his final retirement after 42 years of management, which has featured all manner of memorable moments.

The Sheffield-born gaffer has been one of the game's most outspoken and divisive characters over the years and is well-known for his straight-talking, no-nonsense approach.His tactless style has landed in him hot water on numerous occasions throughout his colourful career and one of his biggest faux-pas occurred in the aftermath of a 2012 incident which saw former Three Lions keeper Kirkland assaulted.

Warnock accused the Sheffield Wednesday stopper of "going down like a ton of bricks" after he was attacked by an angry Leeds fan following his side's equaliser in a full-blooded Yorkshire derby, and it's fair to say his comments didn't go down well with the rival keeper.Later admitting he actually missed the episode, with his miscalculated post-match comments merely based on hearsay, Warnock revealed he was confronted by an enraged Kirkland in the dressing room afterwards.

However, to make matters even more awkward, the legendary manager was only wearing his pants when the heated exchange took place.In a column for the Independent days after the event, Warnock wrote: I didn't see the incident at the time.
