In the Macclesfield matchday programme, Chesterfield chairman Barrie Hubbard writes:-

The sudden death of ticket office manager Sue Green on August Bank Holiday Monday was a shock to us all.  She was popular with the supporters and the players alike and her friendly smiling face will be missed by many at the ticket office window.

Sue was a Spireites supporter through and through and travelled the country following the team she loved.  She will be fondly remembered by the fans for the helpful and friendly manner in the way she dealt with everyone. 

A measure of Sue's popularity was the huge attendance at her funeral held last week at St Lawrence Church, North Wingfield, with the church bulging at the seams with people wishing to pay their respects, from the local community and from the world of football.

The Chesterfield players formed a guard of honour at the church both before and after the service.  Also paying their respects at the service, along with all the directors, staff and supporters, were former managers, John Duncan, Kevin Randall, Roy McFarland and Lee Richardson, as well as, former assistant manager Scott Sellars, and former players Peter Leven, Adam Smith and Jamie Jackson. 

The special book of condolence for messages of sympathy and comfort has been open at the club for a couple weeks and today, matchday, is located adjacent to the club shop, before being passed onto the family next week.

Donations can be made to the Special Care Baby Unit at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

Our thoughts are with Sue's husband Mick and all Sue's family and friends at their very sad loss.  Chesterfield Football Club will be a sadder and quieter place without her larger than life personality.
