Putting on a Show - Inside Chesterfield’s 2023/24 promotion season
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 paperback book is a detailed account of Chesterfield’s 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 last 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.
Reviews
Even though I don�t support the Spireites. As a football fan, I enjoyed it. It�s well written and informative and I will now look out for their results
A really interesting account of the title winning season with some good interviews with the players and key people around the club. Great to have the small details down in print for future generations to enjoy.
An excellent and drama-filled reflection on Chesterfield's return to the Football League. Author Liam Norcliffe gets to the heart of the story and how Paul Cook masterminded the Spireites title-winning season.
A fantastic account of our time in the National league, very well put together and a must read for any genuine Spireite
