National League Chesterfield will be egged on by a famous FA Cup face when they go for a giant-killing against Championship West Bromwich Albion.
David Webb, scorer of Chelsea’s winner in the 1970 final replay against Leeds, has prolonged his Christmas and new year visit to son Danny, assistant manager of the Spireites, to see if the family can create more headlines in the most famous domestic knockout competition in the world.
The quaint town in Derbyshire’s peak district is a world away from the King’s Road, where Webb senior would hang out with celebrities Michael Crawford and John Cleese when Chelsea were at the heart of swinging London.
