Cricket career


He made his debut for Derbyshire against Lancashire in May 1897.[2] During his time at Derbyshire, he was partnered by Billy Bestwick in a dangerous fast-bowling partnership that never gained much reward because they had very small totals to bowl at.[2] Though rarely judged a better bowler than Bestwick, it was owing to his superiority as a batsman and fieldsman that Warren gained the pair's only England cap against Australia at Headingley in 1905.

He played in the Headingley (Leeds) Ashes Test of 1905.[2] A very tall, right-arm fast bowler who operated off a long, bounding approach, he took 5 for 57 in the first innings of a drawn match.[3] Although he dismissed the cream of Australia's batting, taking the prized wicket of Victor Trumper in both innings, he was not selected again.[2]

In 1910, when playing against Warwickshire at Blackwell Warren scored 123 in less than three hours in a ninth-wicket stand of 283 with John Chapman.[2] This remains a world record in all first-class cricket.[2]

Warren played as an outside right in the Football League for Derby County and in the Southern League for Brentford in the early 1900s.[1][4][5] He also played non-league football for Heanor Town and Ripley Athletic.[1] Warren's Brentford career ended when he was jailed for six months for causing an affray in a local pub.[4]


First World War


Despite being 40 years old and not eligible to serve, Warren lied about his age and enlisted in the Royal Garrison Artillery during the First World War.[2] He suffered upper body wounds from a shell blast in France in 1917 and was discharged in February 1919, three months after the armistice.[2] Warren reached the rank of lance bombardier.[2]


Personal life


Warren was born in Codnor, Derbyshire, the son of John Warren, a builder, and his wife Mary.[2] Warren died in his hometown at the age of 76.[2]
