Spireites slam Lester mischief

Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson has laughed off rumours suggesting that star striker Jack Lester has asked to leave Saltergate.
The 32-year-old, who has scored 30 goals in 42 appearances for the Spireites, has been sidelined for several weeks with a thigh problem and Richardson says his player is unhappy due to the injury.
He told the Derbyshire Times: "I can only think that people say things like this when they get bored.
"Either the person who started it is telling a lie or he had been lied to. It's mischief-making.
"It's no secret Jack has not been happy, but that's because he's had a thigh strain which has prevented him from playing football."
