'Putting on a Show' [Softcover]
Inside Chesterfield's remarkable 2023/24 promotion season
by Liam Norcliffe,
Putting on a Show is the story of Chesterfield FC's remarkable 2023/24 promotion season. Written by the Derbyshire Times' Spireites writer Liam Norcliffe, this is a detailed account of Chesterfield's record-breaking return to the EFL after six seasons in non-league, which saw them almost relegated to regional football and close to going bust. The story features interviews with players, coaching staff, and other key behind-the-scenes personnel. It also covers Paul Cook's sensational return to the club, his rebuilding of the squad, and how the Spireites overcame their loss in the previous season's play-off final on penalties to break records, storm to the title, and play some of the best football the fifth tier has ever seen.
