Chasetown FC were cemented into non-league folklore in 2005 with coverage on Match of the Day with record TV viewing figures.

From wasteland in the town’s mining days, this book details the growth of the Scholars Ground to the state-of-the-art venue it became in 2023.

Chasetown’s successes in the FA Cup, FA Trophy and FA Vase are featured, plus the club’s promotions in the non-league pyramid.

Read also about players wearing glasses, a dramatic first game at the Scholars Ground and the England International who almost played for the club.

Compiled with notes from founder Brian Baker and working closely with long-serving Scholar Mick Joiner, this is the club’s story so far.
