Neil Warnock: 'Working with Derek Pavis one of the happiest times of my life'

Nottingham News

Thursday 8th June 2017

Former Notts County manager Neil Warnock has paid tribute to Derek Pavis, describing the time they worked together was "some of the happiest times of my life".

The former Magpies chairman passed away last month aged 87, and his funeral will take place in Nottingham on Friday.

Warnock, who along with Pavis led Notts from the Third Division to the top flight in the early 90s, had nothing but kind words to say about his former employer.

"Working with Derek are some of the happiest times of my life," Warnock told the Nottingham Post. "They were very successful times too, with the two wins at Wembley.

"I was young and just starting out in management, and he believed in me and supported me and we got the success.

"We got on really well, not just as manager and chairman, but also as friends.

"When I look back at what we achieved, I have immense pride; not just the promotions, but we changed Meadow Lane from a derelict stadium into the modern one it is now.

"I remember we used to go to matches together to watch players. We had that kind of relationship, it was very special. You don't get chairmen like Derek now."
