Neil Warnock confirms he tricked Sheffield United players with bowling skills – and he believes in aliens

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.”

Sheffield-born Warnock is seeking a record eighth promotion with new side Cardiff – and he has set his sights even higher

A caller – who sounded remarkably like the veteran tactician – called in to talk about his experience being abducted by aliens and being forced to “fight their enemies.”

And Warnock has gazed upwards and come to the conclusion we are not alone.

He added: “There’s got to be aliens. It’s such a little planet, Earth. Are you telling me all those other planets, there’s no life on them.”

SunSport columnist Karren Brady revealed the brilliant bowling story as told by Peschisolido – her hubby.

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.”
