I was at both games, they first against Sheffield Wednesday was Warboys second game for us and he scored two against the club we'd bought him from a week or so before. In the Carlisle game he scored four before half time, I think the first three were in the first nine minutes of the game. I believe he was taken off at half time as he was injured. 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.
