A football fan has painstakingly created a stunning tribute to Huddersfield manager Neil Warnock after he helped his team survive relegation – out of Rubik’s cubes.<br /><br />Dedicated David Wright, 45, spent seven hours and used 600 puzzle blocks to produce his portrait of the Terriers' much loved gaffer.<br /><br />The data analyst created the work to show his heartfelt appreciation for Warnock, who led the Championship club out of the drop zone after arriving in February.<br /><br />And David said it was fitting that Charles III was coronated on the day he pieced together his portrait of the 74-year-old manager, who he dubbed “our very own King”.<br /><br />He said: “I wanted to show that appreciation by spending some time creating his portrait - that would stand out from the crowd in hope that he would see that appreciation. <br /><br />“It was quite fitting that it was over the weekend of the coronation of King Charles, I was coronating our very own King, Neil Warnock, with his portrait.<br /><br />“He is very much loved here and I for one appreciate everything he has done - an incredible job keeping us in the Championship against all odds.”<br /><br />David’s artwork was lauded by fans of all teams when he shared on social media.<br /><br />He's previously produced pieces featuring Manchester United ace Christian Eriksen, using the same mini ‘speed cubes’ as his recent work, which measure 3cm by 3cm.<br /><br />And David said when he created a work ex-Huddersfield Town and Nottingham Forest star Michael Hefele, the German player even asked to purchase it.<br /><br />He added: “I no longer have the full-size cubes anymore because Hefele actually bought the portrait off me. He literally slid into my DM’s saying he wanted it”.<br /><br />Warnock’s side secured their stay in the Championship after beating premier league-bound side Sheffield United 1-0 in their penultimate game of the season.<br /><br />The legendary manager took over the club ten months after declaring his retirement from football, signing a short-term deal which he has not renewed.
