Chesterfield Football Club is an English association football club based in the Derbyshire town of Chesterfield. The current club dates from 1919, but the histories of earlier Chesterfield-based clubs are generally discussed alongside that of the current club. The first Chesterfield F.C. was founded in the mid-1860s and survived until 1881, long before league football existed. The second incarnation, which became known as Chesterfield Town F.C., was formed in 1884.[1] Its first team joined and won the Sheffield & District League in 1891–92,[2] and first entered the FA Cup the following season. Drawn away to Gainsborough Trinity in the first qualifying round, the score stood at 2–2 at full time; Trinity scored twice during extra time, but darkness fell before the agreed half hour was complete, so the match was ordered to be replayed. Chesterfield lost the replay 4–0.[3] They continued in the Sheffield leagues until joining the Midland Football League in 1896. After three top-four finishes, Chesterfield were elected to the Second Division of the Football League for the 1899–1900 season. The team generally struggled in the Football League: they placed fifth in 1904–05, but followed up with four consecutive bottom-three positions. Three times they successfully applied for re-election to the League, but the fourth application failed, and Chesterfield returned to the Midland League in 1909. Despite winning the title that season, they were not accepted back into the Football League, and continued in the Midland League until competitive football was suspended for the duration of the First World War.[1][4]

Chesterfield Town went into voluntary liquidation in 1915. A third club, formed to participate in the wartime competitions, failed because of financial irregularities, and when competitive football resumed, Chesterfield Council founded its own club, Chesterfield Municipal. They won the first post-war Midland League title[1] – and were expelled from that season's FA Cup for fielding an ineligible player[a] – but when the football authorities made clear their opposition to municipal ownership of clubs, the council's involvement ceased and the club was renamed Chesterfield F.C.[1] It was a founder member of the Football League Third Division North, spent much of the 1920s in the top half of that division, and won the title in 1930–31. They retained their Second Division status for just two seasons, won a further Third Division North championship in 1936, and remained in the second tier until the interruption for war and for five seasons thereafter. Consistent top-half finishes meant Chesterfield were allocated to the Third Division when the regional sections were amalgamated into Third and Fourth Divisions in 1958, but they lasted only three seasons before making their debut at the lower level.[4]

Chesterfield were promoted as 1969–70 Fourth Division champions. In 1980–81, they entered and won the last edition of the Anglo-Scottish Cup, defeating Scottish giants Rangers 3–0 in the quarter-finals before beating Notts County in the final.[5] Two years later, they were relegated, and came close to folding, with debts of £400,000 and only seven contracted professionals,[6] before bouncing back to win their second Fourth Division title in 1985. Over the next 30 years, they experienced four relegations and four promotions between third and fourth tiers. Promoted via the play-offs in 1995, they came within a point of the play-offs the following season,[4] and reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in 1996–97, in which they faced Middlesbrough of the Premier League. With 21 minutes left and Chesterfield leading 2–1, Jonathan Howard shot against the underside of the bar; the ball bounced down and then out, and referee David Elleray ruled, incorrectly, that it had not crossed the line. A minute later, he awarded a penalty to Middlesbrough for a foul that took place outside the penalty area. Middlesbrough scored, and took a 3–2 lead in extra time, but Jamie Hewitt equalised with seconds left. Chesterfield lost the replay 3–0.[7][8]

In 2000–01, a nine-point deduction for financial irregularities, initially deemed too lenient by the Football League, failed to prevent Chesterfield's automatic promotion in third place,[9] and the following year the club was taken out of administration into the ownership and control of the Chesterfield Football Supporters' Society.[10] In the second round of the 2008–09 FA Cup, Chesterfield lost to non-league club Droylsden, but were awarded the tie when their opponents were found to have fielded an ineligible player; when Chesterfield did the same in 2014–15, they were only required to replay the tie, and won.[11] They again won the fourth-tier title in 2010–11 and the following season won the Football League Trophy, a cup competition open to teams from the two lower divisions of the Football League, beating Swindon Town 2–0 in the final.[12] Chesterfield won the fourth-tier championship for a league record fourth time in 2013–14,[4][13] and again reached the Football League Trophy final; this time they lost 3–1 to Peterborough United.[14] Two consecutive bottom-of-the-table finishes took them back to non-league football in 2018.[4]

Since their first admission to the Football League in 1899, Chesterfield have spent 20 seasons in the second tier of the English football league system, 55 in the third, 25 in the fourth and 9 in non-league football. The table details the team's achievements and the top goalscorer in senior first-team competitions from their first season in the Sheffield & District League in 1891–92 to the end of the most recently completed season.

Notes

  1. ^ a b After beating South Normanton Colliery in the second qualifying round, Chesterfield were disqualified for fielding an ineligible player. Although the FA commission accepted the directors' claim that they genuinely believed the player not to be cup-tied, because they suspended him for a month for "wilfully misleading the Chesterfield club", they still expelled the club from the competition despite it being within the rules and their discretion for them to impose a lesser sanction.[27]
  2. ^ During the period that Chesterfield took part in this competition, it was conducted on a league basis.[15]
  3. ^ The League Cup competition started in the 1960–61 season.[18]
  4. ^ Sourced to Soccerbase from 1996–97 onwards.[20]
  5. ^ From the 1899–1900 Football League season onwards, divisions are sorted according to their level within the English football league system, and separately from the non-League divisions.
  6. ^ a b c d Successfully applied for re-election to the Football League.[25]
  7. ^ Failed to be re-elected to the Football League, receiving three votes fewer than Midland League club Lincoln City.[26]
  8. ^ The 1939–40 season was abandoned with three matches played when the Second World War began.[4]
  9. ^ Although the Football League did not resume until the 1946–47 season, the FA Cup was contested in 1945–46. From the first round proper to the sixth round (quarter-final), results were determined on aggregate score over two legs.[4][16]
  10. ^ Chesterfield finished joint twelfth, with a identical record to that of Tranmere Rovers.[1]
  11. ^ The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win instead of two.[18]
  12. ^ The Football League Group Cup succeeded the Anglo-Scottish Cup after the Scottish clubs decided to abandon the competition.[31]
  13. ^ Beat Stockport County 6–0 on aggregate in the play-off semi-final before losing 1–0 to Cambridge United in the final.[4]
  14. ^ When the newly formed FA Premier League split from the Football League, the remaining divisions of the Football League were renumbered upwards.[18]
  15. ^ Beat Mansfield Town 6–3 on aggregate in the play-off semi-final before beating Bury 2–0 in the final to gain promotion to the Second Division.[4]
  16. ^ Nine points deducted for financial irregularities.[9]
  17. ^ From the 2004–05 season, the Football League divisions were rebranded: Division One was renamed the Football League Championship, and Divisions Two and Three became Football League One and Football League Two respectively.[36]

Surely, in the circumstances, justice would have been done if the Big Four had ordered Chesterfield to replay the match. That, it is now known, is all that South Normanton expected when they made their protest. The Chesterfield Club asked for leave to appeal. "No," say the Big Four; "we are the first and final court of appeal, and our decision must be accepted." It is, nevertheless, a stupid and unjust decision. One day the control of football will be put on a popular, democratic basis. Meanwhile, some of the existing "bosses" do not like the experiment which the Chesterfield Corporation are making in this direction. There are reasons.
