Here we talk about the great Gerry Clarke on the latest Sky is Blue Podcast. Nice words from Phil Tooley and Stuart Basson. https://t.co/I1mlsQFP7x
Nobby was a decent player and gave his all for the club. Lovely bloke, who couldn't help but like, unless you were facing him during a match.

I interviewed him for Stuart Basson's book Saltergate Sunset. I still have the audio, I'll put it on here. A lovely man and Chesterfield through and through.

My grandad Gerry (Nobby) Clarke sadly passed away yesterday surrounded by his loved ones. He played and coached in the 60’s and 70’s and to me is a true Spireite legend! Any memories of my grandad would be very much welcomed.

His 2 25 yard thunderbolts against first division Stoke City at the Cross Street end of Saltergate in the mid 60s
they pulled a 2-2 draw out in the last 15 minutes and we were unlucky to lose the replay 2-1 at the Victoria Ground
For the first match at Saltergate we went straight from school for the 445 pm ko pre floodlight days
Also in the early 60s i remember coming home from school and my mother saying she had been making tea for the council workmen who were cutting the grass
One of them was Gerry who said he played football for Chesterfield in the winter
RIP Nobby
