Re: Chesterfield back in the league
I remember a cup game there - mid 2000's probably... conservative estimate is that Burnley had 11,463 corners that game, but had to rely on penalties to get them through, after a nil nil draw.
I think the fans were chanting "Ooh It's a Corner" to the tune of the fabled George Oghani song.
