The Spireites were named Acerbis Team of the Year at The Non-League Paper’s National Game Awards in association with Isuzu after sealing their return to the Football League with a stunning haul.
Ninety-eight points. Thirty one wins. One hundred and six goals. Rarely has a team won the National League as dominantly as Chesterfield.
The pre-season favourites more than lived up to their billing, going top with a 1-0 win over Ebbsfleet in the middle of September and staying there for the next eight months.
Manager Paul Cook made sure pre-season was every bit
as intense and professional as it was in his time at Wigan and Portsmouth, and the hard work paid off.
Whether it was the goals of Will Grigg, the midfield quality of Tom Naylor or the sheer consistency of a flawless supporting cast, Chesterfield looked EFL-ready from practically the first kick of the season.
