Norbert - Vocals, Guitar, Drums, Bass, Trumpet.

Another solo effort by Norbert 1985 & All That is a tribute to the mighty Spireites so beloved of Norbert.
It is recorded in a reggae style although Norberts vocals can't really stretch to singing in such a way (can they stretch to recording in any kind of way ?).
It is a long song, over 7 minutes total running time, and it is reported that many folk have given up the will to live whilst listening to it.
However in Nov 2010 the song was released to the general public via the Chesterfield F.C website message board and proved to be a surprise hit. These are some of the comments written about the song by message board users.


You have got to take into account it is not a love song or the like that would shoot to number one in the charts,it is different but certainly a good effort,9/10.....

Love it especially the chorus, I'll be humming it all day in my head, but I hope we won't be Bunkum this afteroon. I can hear the beat of the drum already in the background.lol. Good effort mate, don't forget to add the Shezza and B2Net era when you can, or is that just encouraging you.

Great effort, enjoyed listening to that 
Dat is goooood bro, just needed one ting......

............Where was Bob Marley when you needed him!

Somebody said they saw Brian the singing miner at the match the other week,perhaps he could give you some singing lessons.
really catchy, especially the chorus, top marks !

my church-organist, trained singer wife thinks you're not
that bad a singer, 'just a bit of training required to develop the raw material' ! You could be the CFC official
crooner yet! push off Tony Christie .... 

its been stuck in my head for 2 days, i had to save the link so i can listen to it whenever, anyway you can get it on itunes?

The Legend that is Sir Jack.

When I was young with nothing to do
Booga said come and watch the boys in white and blue
So off I went to the Saltergate ground
To get in then it was only £2
That was back in 1985
Was the first time in me life that I felt so alive
A 0-0 with Blackpool the match was poor
But I didn't care it just left me wanting more

Chorus
People take the piss cos I'm a Spireite
They always saying that me team is shite
But I don't listen when they is so mean
Cos I really love me Chesterfield team

Now I went every week and I stood on the Kop
With me deep blue stretch and me pink cardy top
I cheered for Walker Spooner and Moss
Phil Brown on the wing putting in the perfect cross
Mad man Caldwell was out of his head
Sean O'Neil so old he was very nearly dead
The heart of defence were Hunter and Baines
They had Spireite blood flowing through their veins

Chorus

So I carried on going every week with the lads
The players seemed so old that they could have been our dads
The home match v Wigan was the greatest yet
When in the last minute Tony Reid found the net
It was the best way to spend some time with your pals
But not quite as good as going out and chasing gals
But Booga, Dobba, Greg and Bill they soon went
They went to watch the team on the south side of the Trent

Chorus

After 2 years of struggling the crowd would often shout
Sit down Duncan and Duncan out
He went off to Ipswich and we brought in Randall
But we soon realised he was no good at all
The board knew we would have to make a fresh start
So they went out and got a big man called Paul Hart
Within a year we were full of glee
As the big man got us to Wembley

Chorus

So we went down to London but unfortunately 
Promotion that year was just not to be
So Harty got the boot and they brought in Chrissie Mac
But he was no good either and he soon got the sack
So Johnny Duncan came riding back into town
The fans were all scared that he'd soon take us down
But with Lormor,  Robbo and Davies banging em in
We were soon back down at Wembley again

Chorus

Two goals against Bury and we were soon back up
Was just as good as winning FA cup
Then came the year of 1997
When being a Spireite was like being in heaven
Fa cup semi and and we played Middlesbrough
After extra time it was a 3-3 draw
Then came the worst thing for a Spireite to feel
When we lost the replay in the city of steel

Chorus

So Johnny D was gone again the crowd wanted more
So the club they appointed your man Nicky Law
There was a new chairman name of Darren Brown
The fans loved him cos he had the cash to splash around
All the people thought he was a real good bloke
But he paid all the players with the brown envelopes
The people they weren't happy till Brown went away
And the club it is suffering right to this day

Chorus

Because of Brown the club soon found itself poor
And off to Bradford walked your man Nicky Law
The next man they put in charge was called Davey Rush
But he was hopeless and he soon got the push
They went out to find a man to bring good times back
And the one that they found his name was Roy Mac
But apart from a run in the Carling Cup
He was no good either and his reign it soon was up

Chorus

So they took his right hand man and they made him the boss
But most of the fans couldn't really give a toss
But as a loyal Spireite I'll wish him all the best
And I'll support the team till the hairs fall off me chest
Now we have the teasm to do quite well with Lester, Page and Ward
But I won't believe the new ground till the first concrete is poured
Dobba, Booga, Greg and Bill can keep their Notts Forest
Because I know the club I love simply is the best.

People take the piss cos I'm a true blue
But I don't really care what they do
You can take your Notts Forest and shove it up your ass
Cos they haven't got the Chesterfield class

Chorus.
