Vance Warner (born 3 September 1974) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender from 1994 until 2000 notably for Nottingham Forest, as well as appearing for Grimsby Town and Rotherham United.
Nottingham Forest
Warner came through the youth ranks at Nottingham Forest under Frank Clark. Despite being touted as "the new Des Walker",[2] Warner struggled to break into the first team and spent time on loan with Grimsby Town during the 1995–1996 season who were managed by Warner's former teammate Brian Laws. He played 3 times for Grimsby before returning to the City Ground in April 1996.
Rotherham United
Following a two-month loan spell with Rotherham United at the start of the 1997–1998 season, Ronnie Moore convinced Warner to sign for the club on a free transfer in November 1997. Warner played 63 times in league and cup competitions during his time with United, scoring 1 goal on 8 August 1998 in a 3–1 home win over Hull City. He had a memorable chant of 'Ooh Vancey Warner' & was noted for his quick pace & uncompromising tackling style. Warner was released by United in the summer of 2000 after spending three seasons with The Millers.
International career
In October 1992, Warner made one appearance for England U18, starting in a 2–0 defeat in a friendly against France.[3]
