After over three years I’ve decided that Legends of a Spire is coming to an end. It’s been a huge honour to talk to so many footballers, managers and fans over the last few years and hope you’ve enjoyed the podcasts.

I’ve also had loads of fun producing zines, scarves, prints and more with an amazing group of artists and designers. I may be back with something football related in a broader sense and under a new guise but for now I’m looking forward to a good rest and enjoying our return to the EFL.

I’m signing off with ‘The National League Years’ book (out next week) with Michael South photography. It’s been a big project and something we are really excited to be sharing with you all. We’ve got less that 50 of the first edition left and you can get yours here. https://thenationalleagueyears.bigcartel.com/

I’ll also be releasing a print about our Great Escape of 2003/4 with more news on that soon. Everything in the Etsy shop is now half price as a thank you and last chance to buy https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LegendsOfTheSpire

For now though a huge thanks for your support over the years, it’s meant so, so much to me and I’ve made friends for life along that way. The podcast only lasted as long as it did thanks to the support of everyone that came along for the journey. Come on you blues!

It was two years ago when I first interviewed Ollie Banks about his first spell at Chesterfield. Little did I know then that the Barrow player was soon to re-sign for Chesterfield and help the Spireites win promotion this season.

Ollie and I had a catch up recently about his last two seasons at Chesterfield and the highlighs of this amazing season. Ollie has also contributed to 'The National League Years', a new book by myself and Michael South featuring matchday photography and player quotes from the last six seasons.

If you are interested in ordering a copy of 'The National League Years' book then the first numbered edition is now availble for preorder at the following link and limited to 204 copies (our tally of league goals and points from the title winning season).

A big thanks to Ollie for coming on and I hope you enjoy it.

In the spell between our title winning game against Boreham Wood and the end of the season I had a chat with Jamie Grimes about his career and memories of this amazing season at Chesterfield FC.

We were actually having a chat because Jamie has written the foreword for a new book that I have compiled with Michael South Photography called 'Chesterfield FC - The National League Years'. The conversation wasn't originally intended for release but was such an interesting chat that Jamie was happy for me to put it out there to you all. Thanks Jamie!

I hope to be bringing you more podcasts over the next few weeks and months and thanks for all of the support this season!
