Former Burnley boss Stan Ternent has reacted angrily to claims made against him by Neil Warnock in his autobiography.

The ex-Sheffield United manager accused him of behaving like a "deranged lunatic" as well as calling him another derogatory name.

The outburst referred to the notorious bust-up between Ternent and then Blades assistant Kevin Blackwell at Bramall Lane, when the Turf Moor chief accused Warnock's staff of eavesdropping on his half-time team talk.

But Ternent said: "I'd rather cut my grass than talk about Warnock, but I want the right of reply to what he has said about me.

"I don't know a manager who has got a good word to say about him - he's the most disliked in the game.

"Warnock is a legend between his own ears."

Referring to the Brammall Lane incident, Ternent added: "Half a dozen managers told me to be careful because Warnock had put people behind the door.

"I heard something when I was giving my team talk, opened the door, and three of them shot off."
