On the club website that he has recently passed away

the funeral is at 1010am tomorrow at the Crem

It states on the website that between an away match at QPR in 1961 and into the 19990s he was at every Town match home and away

RIP Clive a true Spireite

Very sad news about Clive.
I worked with him at Wm Lee's in Dronfield from 1995 to late 1998.
I knew he loved Chesterfield, but the number of other games, mainly non league football and rugby league, he went to was amazing.
When I met him, he told me it was years since he had missed a Town game, even discharging himself from hospital, after been admitted while working at Stavely Chemicals, so he could go to Barrow away(I think).
I will always remember when Chesterfield was covered in snow, he used the pay phone at work to see if the Plymouth v Chesterfield game was still on. It was and he promptly set off! He just made it back in time the following day to start his 6am shift.

RIP Clive
