As caretaker manager of Torquay United in 1993, Neil Warnock oversaw the Gulls' great escape which was secured with a 1-0 away win over Carlisle United.
Fast forward to 2018 and Warnock has once again attempt to assist United, as they battle against relegation from the Vanarama National League by sending Rhys Healey to Plainmoor on loan for the remainder of the campaign, who made his debut away at Solihull Moors at the weekend.
We will now look at a number of other players that Warnock has loaned to the Gulls during his long managerial career.
Phil Barnes (Sheffield United 2004-05)
After Icelandic goalkeeper Ole Gottskalksson went AWOL, Warnock came to the Gulls' assistance by loaning Phil Barnes to Leroy Rosenior's side as they battled to retain the League One that they won in the 2003-04 season. Barnes made five appearances for United, which saw them win two; draw two before he was recalled following an injury to the Blades' first choice keeper Paddy Kenny.
Leroy Rosenior would later sign Andy Marriott as a permanent replacement for Barnes, as the Gulls agonisingly missed out on staying up on the final day of the season against Colchester United.
Jordan Robertson and Lloyd Kerry (Sheffield United 2006-07)
Whilst he was manager of the Blades, Warnock also loaned Jordan Robertson and Lloyd Kerry at different times during the 2006-07 season, which was a campaign of great instability for the Gulls.
Three different managers took charge of the Gulls (Ian Atkins, Lubos Kubik and Keith Curle) and Warnock loaned Jordan Robertson to United under Atkins' reign. The young striker made six starts and five substitute appearances and scored four goals including a brace in a 2-1 FA Cup second round away win over Leyton Orient.
Central midfielder Lloyd Kerry was loaned to the Gulls in March under Keith Curle and started six games and made one further substitute appearance - scoring on his debut in a 3-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers.
The pair were two of 43 players used by United in all competitions during that season.
Romone Rose and Joe Oastler (Queens Park Rangers 2010-11)
Paul Buckle became the fourth Gulls manager to have loaned players to in the 2010-11 season when he sent Romone Rose and Joe Oastler to Plainmoor on loan from Queens Park Rangers. Wideman Rose made his debut away to Gillingham in October 2010 and scored his one and only goal for the Gulls after coming on as a substitute against Morecambe in the following week. He made three further appearances for United - starting one and two more as a sub - before returning to Loftus Road.
Oastler, however, would become a more permanent fixture for the Gulls as he remained at Plainmoor for the rest of the season - making 31 appearances in all competitions before signing a permanent two-year deal under Buckle's successor Martin Ling during the summer of 2012, following his release by Rangers.
