John Turner was a good keeper too, had forgotten him. I don't know if I saw Banks play for us. His season was when I was starting and I've no idea of the team that played - first keepers I'm fully conscious of were fat Ron Powell and John Osborne I think, though remembering what order people played in is difficult.
I don't know if anyone else would come up with Bellamy at centre back but he was pure class to me, that's why I put a contrasting player with him in Les Hunter - tough and brave.
Glad you liked Rodney Fern - on his off days he'd have struggled in Staveley MW Reserves - but when he was on his game he was enough to occupy a defence on his own ......
Now Blathers deserves a mention. I'd have selected him except he seemed to give himself every Christmas off for disciplinary reasons. And my challenger at left back was Nathan Smith. Of the current crop, Gary Roberts would be a sub, as would Drew Talbot .....
What would be your worst ever Chesterfield team. First two selections for me would be Neil Warnock and Tony Moore.
