After England’s Under 20’s World title success in June 2017, England Under 17s won their World title in October 2017! They beat Brazil in the semi-finals, thanks to a Rhian Brewster hat-trick - he also scored three in the quarter-finals and went on to win the tournament Golden Boot award – to set up a final against Spain.

England had been beaten by the Spanish in final of the UEFA Under 17 competition in May and history looked to be repeating itself when Spain took a 2-0 lead in the World final played in Kolkata in India. 

Things changed with goals from Brewster, Gibbs-White, Foden (2) and Guehi seeing England dominate to record a memorable 5-2 win. Squad-how many can you find are playing at the higher levels? 

Curtis Anderson (Manchester City); Steven Sessegnon (Fulham); Joel Latibeaudiere (Manchester City), Marc Guehi (Chelsea), Jonathan Panzo (Chelsea); Tashan Oakley-Boothe (Tottenham Hotspur), George McEachran (Chelsea); Phil Foden (Manchester City), Morgan, Gibbs-White playing subs were Nya Kirby (Crystal Palace), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea) and Angel Gomes (Manchester United. Head coach – Steve Cooper.

The England development teams had a magnificent 2017 – World titles for the Under 17s and Under 20s, while in UEFA Euros the Under 19s won their title, in the UEFAs, the Under 17s were beaten finalists and Under 21s were beaten semi-finalists. Surely the England senior side will be winning World Cups with ease in the future!! SEVEN YEARS ON? Is it worth doing some research to see where these lads are now!

28th October 1980 Chesterfield celebrated one of their greatest ever victories – in the Anglo-Scottish Cup - don't scoff at this..... it was against the mighty Glasgow Rangers in the quarter-finals of the competition. After drawing the first leg at Ibrox the return was played at Saltergate on this day in 1980 and 13,914  Chesterfield fans saw their side beat Rangers 3-0 on their way to winning the competition in its final season.
