According to Paddy Kenny, Neil Warnock once handed a run-out to a random 14-year-old during a pre-season friendly:
โWe were playing a game, we're all there getting changed before we go out. Warnock's brought this young kid in about 14-years-old.
"This young kid has come in with his dad and we were like 'what's going off here, why would he be playing?'.
"We were like, eh? Anyway this young kid comes on, plays 20 minutes, pre-season I think it was Bodmin we were playing.
"We found out afterwards the lad's dad had decorated Warnock's house, so instead of paying he gave his lad 20 minutes of a pre-season game."
