Ernie!
About This Book
This book follows Ernie Moss, a striker who grew up in the local area and went on to become a legendary figure at Chesterfield and in the lower leagues. He remains the club's all-time leading goalscorer, with 191 goals for the side across three separate spells, and his long career secured him a lasting place in the sport's folklore. Moss was well liked wherever he played, respected by supporters and teammates alike. After his playing days ended, he turned to management. Later he was diagnosed with Pick's disease, a form of dementia that took away the retirement he had looked forward to. It is believed the condition may have been linked to his trademark skill, heading the ball with precision and force. The story is assembled from the recollections of fans, family members and fellow players, who describe a footballer who brought commitment and devotion to his profession. It covers success and disappointment, candour and family life, as well as the game that shaped his career.
