We are saddened to learn that Gerry Short, a fan and long-standing Spire Lotto agent, has died at the age of 77.
Born in Ireland, Gerry moved to England in the fifties and started following Chesterfield while in the army, thanks to a colleague who was a Spireite. He moved to the town in 1989.
In 1993, Gerry became an agent collecting for Blues on the Move, a role that continued with the club’s lottery until his death. He was also a regular watching both at Saltergate and the SMH Group Stadium.
Gerry’s funeral will be at Chesterfield Crematorium on Thursday, February 29 at 9.50am. His cortege will make a lap of the stadium before the service.
We send our sincere condolences to Gerry’s family and friends.
