GHOSTBUSTERS was released 41 years ago today. A 1980s comedy classic and one of the most popular of Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, the making of story is as huge as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man… 1/38

Becks finally getting his knighthood eh?

Yep #rain youtu.be/fqo-HwKN_Ac?...

The blatant handball right in front of Accrington's manager (some bloke called Cook who went purple with rage) in the build-up to a goal was memorable. The hat trick away at Lincoln was possibly the finest individual performance I've ever seen. #SirJackLester #Spireites

If I needed someone to score a penalty to save the lives of my loved ones... youtu.be/VLbXVxfhwmo?... @spireitehistory.bsky.social

The one who got away 😢💙🤍💙

I guess he decided "enough is enough" #TheHives youtu.be/EbxrfflmPRE?...

I'm now 3 years older than Jim Brown was at the time, which I'm pretty sure should be impossible #time #Spireites

After 33 years of people (subconsciously, actively, desperately) wondering where the iconic commentary sample in the Gazzetta Football Italia title music came from....

Happy "Hit Les over the top" day to all who celebrate

Now that the sun has set, a reminder that one hundred and twenty-eight years ago today, Bram Stoker’s magnum opus was first published in London. The appeal of this Victorian Gothic novel wasn’t instant but its influence has irresistibly pervaded popular culture ever since. #WorldDraculaDay

No mention of Chris Marples?!

Bashir spins England to innings victory over Zimbabwe – Player Ratings Shoaib Bashir fought off his critics to spin England to an innings victory over Zimbabwe in the first Test of the home summer. The 21-year-old off-spinner took second-innings figures of 6/81 as the travelling side fell to an…

Next time the FA goes on about how important fans are to the game, remember this (among other examples). This has genuinely made me angry. Not fit to run the game

THE SHINING was released 45 years ago today. Not a huge success on its release, it has gone down as one of Stanley Kubrick’s most popular films and most influential horror movies ever made. The behind-the-scenes story will go on forever… and ever… and ever 1/34

The best I've ever seen for us 🧤

Is it raining? And is test cricket about to start? Yes, yes it is

Lunchtime walk

The crooked spire of Chesterfield should be considered as Britain's Leaning Tower of Pisa

I watched one match at Goodison Park. Everton v Birmingham City some time around 2002. 0-0 and Thomas Gravesen had the worst game I've ever seen from a professional footballer. Even worse than that Wayne Fairclough one at Saltergate in the mid-90s

Happy 57th birthday to former Spireite Jamie Hewitt! He made over 500 apps for the Blues across 17 seasons and scored the famous last-minute equaliser in the 1997 FA Cup semi-final He later became the club’s physio #Spireites

Morning walk

What do I know compared to Paul Cook? Not much. But here's what I'd do Friday night: target their wing backs - the spaces behind them, and between them and the outside centre halves. So back to a more conventional 4-2-3-1, full backs staying wide and going high to double up with the wingers. #COYB

Erm...

The playoffs. A bit like a medical procedure that you don't want to have but know that, despite the pain and worry, *might* make things a lot better. I'll have a double anaesthetic please. Come on Town. #Spireites

1 goal, 2 red cards, and his best* games were a couple at centre back rather than up front 😬 *i.e. least bad #Spireites

CFC Former Players Sunday Snap: Can we celebrate play-offs? Thirty years ago Nicky Law #796 is joined by Tony Lormor #813 & Darren Carr #787 after he headed in @chesterfieldfc.bsky.social's fourth goal against @mansfieldtownfc in the 5-2 second-leg win.

#heresMandy #Spireites

@noscoredraws.com any chance of Liam Mandeville making an appearance after Chesterfield unexpectedly snuck into the playoffs? #wheresMandy #Spireitea

Teams wearing next season's kit on the last day of the season should be immediately deducted 3 points

Any mention of Kevin Davies gets a like from me, but I'm honour-bound to point out that he was a skinny whelp of a lad in his early (i.e. best) days #Spireites
