Overview

Macclesfield Town won promotion to the Football League in 1997 at the second attempt and have enjoyed continuous membership at that level for the past 12 years. Their trials, tribulations and triumphs are narrated within these pages, with an emphasis on events on the field of play; although the more dramatic off-the-field happenings have also been included. Competing as one of the smallest clubs has not always been easy, but there have been many inspired moments - from a single season in the former Nationwide Second Division, victories over higher League opposition in Cup competitions, to being Play-off semi-finalists one season and losing Northern Area Finalists in the Football League Trophy in another. Over the years there have been brilliant individual performances. Many younger players have developed their skills at the club with some moving on to play at a higher level, while more experienced players have become legends in their own time. This book has been written by a fan for the fans, as a record of Macclesfield Town's progress and to act as a memory jogger. For anyone who has not been able to witness the Silkmen's progress first hand, you will be left with the feeling that you could very well have been present.
