'Putting on a Show' - 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. Featuring interviews with players, coaching staff and other key behind-the-scenes personnel, the story also covers Paul Cook's sensational return to the club, how he rebuilt the squad and how the Spireites recovered from losing the previous season's play-off final on penalties to break records galore and storm to the title - all while playing some of the best football the fifth tier has ever seen.
