NEIL WARNOCK'S Cardiff have skittled their last seven opponents - and the veteran boss has been used to the sight since he was a teenager.
Ex-Sheffield United ace Paul Peschisolido revealed how his former manager tricked the entire Blades squad out of a tenner each.
The now-Bluebirds manager, 69, asked each of his players to put a tenner in a pot when they went bowling - before whipping out a personalised ball and striking rich by scoring 250.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Warnock explained: “I thought it was 20 at the time.
"I said to the staff, Mick Jones was with me, let’s make a few quid for the staff.
“I used teach bowling when I was a teenager - I can swing it both ways.
“It was a massive thing when we were teenagers. It had just come in - the first 24 hour bowl at Frecheville.”

He said: "He convinced us all to put £10 in the pot, winner take all.
“We agreed for some fun, then he pulled out his own bowling shoes and custom ball, shot 250 and took all our money.”
