I was at both games, with a junior season ticket in the Canton end.

Warboys did well for us for nearly two years, playing 58+3 sub in the League and scoring 27 goals. But Scoular was facing the same problem we have now, an ageing team that had been together a while, and was struggling at the start of the 72/73 season. So he managed to unload Carver, Foggon, Gibson, Clark, John Parsons and Warboys from the team very quickly. But he brought in Andy McCulloch, Gil Reece, Dave Powell and Johnny Vincent and our fortunes changed and we stayed up. £135,000 in and £80,000 spent.

We beat Carlisle that season too, 1-0. I think the last time we played Carlisle was March 2001 when we won 4-0.
I don't think Gil Reece was a youngster when we signed him. Quite the reverse. Johnny Vincent made his debut against Middlesborough - the club we signed him from - and he scored twice. Andy McCulloch was decent - he reminds me of Madine except he could score.
