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.
Foreword by Spireites legend Jamie Hewitt
The book revisits Chesterfield’s remarkable 1996/97 cup run, when the Spireites came within a whisker of being the first team from outside the top two tiers to reach the FA Cup final.
Filled with personal memories and behind-the-scenes insight, it includes:
• Exclusive interviews with Chesterfield players from the era, supporters who witnessed the cup run first-hand, sports journalists who covered it, plus a rare insight from one of English football’s most famous referees, David Elleray • Rich, detailed anecdotes that capture how the cup run unfolded and how it affected both the club and the town of Chesterfield • Photos of key moments and personalities • A look at how following a football club has changed since the 1990s, including the effects of 90s culture on the game • An exploration of the FA Cup’s place in the modern football landscape
A Fine Line is a feel-good chronicle of a classic giant-killing adventure, perfect for Spireites fans and FA Cup romantics alike.
