- Book Synopsis
- A Fine Line: How the Spireites (Almost) Reached the FA Cup Final is a nostalgic celebration of one of the most extraordinary underdog stories in FA Cup history. It revisits Chesterfield's remarkable 1996/97 cup run, exploring not only how it unfolded but how it affected both the town and the club at a time when following your team felt very different than today. Drawing on interviews with those who were there - Spireites players, lifelong supporters, sports journalists and one of the most iconic referees in the English game - the book is filled with personal memories and behind-the-scenes insight. A Fine Line is a feel-good chronicle of a classic giant-killing adventure, perfect for Spireites fans and FA Cup romantics alike.
