NEIL WARNOCK made Phil Jagielka train as a goalkeeper once a week at Sheffield United.<\/p>\n

The former England defender was deployed as a substitute keeper several times by the ex-Blades boss.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He famously kept a clean sheet against Arsenal in 2006 after keeping goal against Millwall two years earlier.<\/p>\n

Greg Halford has now revealed Warnock had Jagielka train with the keepers at Sheffield United before he joined the club.<\/p>\n

The Premier League cult hero also admitted he was made back-up goalie after Jagielka departed.<\/p>\n

Appearing on the Undr The Cosh podcast, he recalled: "I think Neil Warnock was the first manager to do it, where he wouldn\u2019t put a sub keeper on the bench. He\u2019d just have five outfield players.<\/p>\n

"Before me it was Jagielka, he\u2019d train one day a week with the keepers and be a sub keeper while he was playing. Then after Jags left, it was me."<\/p>\n

Jagielka came through the Blades academy before making 305 appearances for the club across two spells at Bramall Lane.<\/p>\n

Prior to his move to Everton in 2007, he helped his boyhood club gain promotion to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

It was during their 2006-07 top flight campaign that his goalkeeping cameo helped the Blades to a famous win over Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Jagielka was forced between the sticks to replace the injured Paddy Kenny for the final 34 minutes, denying Robin van Persie late on to seal a 1-0 win.<\/p>\n

He had previously done the same after Kenny was sent off against Millwall in December 2004, with Warnock's side also winning that day.<\/p>\n

After joining the Toffees, Jagielka went on to make his England debut and win 40 caps for the Three Lions, scoring three goals.<\/p>\n

Two of those caps came at the 2014 World Cup after the centre-back had been unused at the Euros two years earlier.<\/p>\n

Jagielka returned to the Blades in 2019 before spells at Derby and Stoke, retiring aged 40 back in July.<\/p>\n
