Malta U-17 forward Elliott becomes Chesterfield FC’s youngest debutant since 1936

Malta U-17’s forward Gunner Elliott became Chesterfield FC’s youngest debutant since 1936 after a brief appearance in Thursday’s League Two match against Fleetwood Town.


Elliott, 16, is the second Maltese to set foot in a League Two pitch after Luke Dimech, who played for Mansfield Town, Chester City and Macclesfield.

Working at Chesterfield FC is Justin Tellus, Head of Recruitment and Development, who takes centre stage in an upcoming book called ‘The Power of the Badge’.

The book recalls the inspirational tale of how a determined and devoted group of Chesterfield FC fans saved the club from oblivion after its money was stolen by an errant owner who was jailed for the crime.

Included in the book, set to release on January 6, is an extensive chapter on the Academy and a 10-page interview with Tellus.
