Was that the game that Wardy played in? trying to think who else played. Laurie Cunningham? Peter Barnes? If it's the game I'm thinking of there were a lot of players in that game who eventually made the full England team.

Don't know. It was either Leicester City vs Carlisle at Filbert Street when they were 1st and 3rd in divison 1, or it was Albion vs Grimsby on Feb 9th 1974. I can't remember when the Leicester game was, but it was early 70's.
