NO matter what happens in the future, November 7 will always be a big date in Warrington Town's history.

It was on this very day five years ago that they catapulted themselves into the nation's hearts thanks to a stunning FA Cup upset.

Cantilever Park was full to bursting and witnessed memorable scenes as Craig Robinson's winning goal saw off Football League side Exeter City live on the BBC.

It was a night the club – and Warrington as a whole ­– will struggle to forget.

Once tickets had gone on sale, all 2,500 had sold out within three hours

Once the euphoria had died down, Yellows had at least 83 minutes to hold on.

Their woodwork was hit and goalline clearances had to be made as Warrington hung on.
