After Burton, Warnock then led Scarborough into the Football League for the first time in their history.
Following this success, Notts County was his next destination in January 1989, where he led the club to the top flight after successive promotions.
In 1993, Warnock then joined Huddersfield Town where another promotion was achieved as well as an appearance at Wembley in the Football League Trophy final.
After yet another promotion, this time with Plymouth, Warnock took charge of Oldham and Bury before being appointed manager of Sheffield United in December 1999.
