Warden, who was originally from Brunswick, holds the record for the longest suspension received by a Footscray player. The league imposed a 22-game suspension in 1928 after he was reported for 'kicking' and he subsequently missed the entire 1929 season. He later played with and coached Footscray District Football League club Kingsville.
