In July 2021, Chesterfield FCs record goal scorer, Ernie Moss, passed away after a long battle with dementia.

Born in the town, Ernie, synonymous with the #8 shirt, had three spells with The Spireites and, in 2014, he was asked to perform the opening of the Chesterfield FC Memorial Garden, along with another local hero Jamie Hewitt.

Ernie has a road named after him, but the trustees and friends of the Memorial Garden want some form of permanent memorial at the stadium to honour the clubs greatest scorer, who was an even greater man.

Whilst plans have not yet been formed, the Chesterfield Community Trust, with the familys blessing, is setting up a fund with a £71,000 target, Ernie was 71 years old when he passed, to expand the Memorial Garden and commission an appropriate permanent memorial therein.
