Warrington hero Craig Robinson celebrates a famous FA Cup win

Warrington Town hero, man of the match and professional plasterer Craig Robinson was left speechless after his goal knocked Exeter City out of The FA Cup and earned his side a place in the Second Round.

The defender scored a seventh-minute header and helped his side hang on with a blend of incredible team work and heroic individual performances all through the team.

Robinson was playing through the pain barrier but he seemed to be in perfect health after the match as his family joined him on the Cantilever Park pitch to celebrate.

He said: “I can't believe it, I am speechless.

“It is just what I have dreamt about since the draw came out. It means so much to me and my family, I am so happy they are here to celebrate it with me.

“It's great for the club, we set out at the start of the season to get promotion but we will take this.

“I lost count of how many painkillers I took to be able to play as I have been struggling with an injury all week but there was no chance I was missing it.

"I'll claim the goal but I have to be honest - I don't remember any of it.”
