NO SPIREITE SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE !, 13 Mar 2000
By A Customer
The time, effort and research that has gone into this publication is astonishing. The introduction kicks off with the author's views on the three chesterfield clubs and straight away debates the true formation date of the club. Next up is the who's who of chesterfield, 190 pages crammed full of each players stats and many photos to accompany such great and well known names like Ernie Moss, Dan Archer, Gordon Banks, Les Hunter & the list goes on to such favourites like Birchy, Nozzer and Davies right through to some of those we would rather forget like the Boxalls and Falanas of this world ! The final pages are finished off superbly with a list of the wartime players and a section on 'the ones that got away' which details the players never to kick a ball for Chesterfield, and last but not least is a very good section on the gaffers of this great, old and locally loved lower league football club.I was fortunate enough to receive this instead of my twenty third pair of socks at christmas i've read it once and can't put it down as i try to take in more the second time around.

A must for all Fans of Chesterfield Football Club., 16 Mar 1999
By A Customer
There are over 200 pages of stats fact and figures for every player who has turned out for Chesterfield Football Club in the past 130 years including legendary players such as Gordon Banks, Sam Hardy, Gerry Armstrong, John Osborne, Alan Birch and many more.Interesting facts in the book which are brought to light are the former spiereite who posed as a Belgian during the first world war, the player who changed his name after throwing a policeman in a river and the winger who conferred with both Fidel Castro and Che Guevevara.
