Ernie! is a heartfelt tribute to lower-league football hero Ernie
Moss, a local boy made good who became a Chesterfield goalscoring
legend. Ernie earned his place in footballing folklore for his
phenomenal longevity and as Chesterfield's record goalscorer,
netting 191 times for the Spireites across three separate spells.
Popular at every club he graced, Ernie was loved by fans and
colleagues alike, and after hanging up his boots he enjoyed time as
a manager. Tragically, having battled countless tough defenders in
his playing days, Ernie found himself battling Pick's disease, a
form of dementia that robbed him of the pleasures of retirement. In
an ironic twist of fate, it is believed Ernie's neurological
disorder was caused by his footballing speciality - heading a ball
with accuracy and power. Fans, family and fellow players help tell
the tale of a footballer who enriched his profession with passion
and dedication. This is a story of skill and success, heartbreak
and honesty, football and family.
