Chesterfield football club owner Phil Kirk has entered palliative care months after a cancer diagnosis, a spokesperson for the club said. The owner of Chesterfield Football Club underwent treatment in recent months, but despite the best efforts of his medical team, the treatment had not been successful. Phil Kirk and his family remain deeply committed to the ongoing support of Chesterfield and his community. The club said it would continue to operate as normal and come together to ensure the owner's vision and values would remain at the heart of the football club's operations. The club asked for the privacy of Phil Kirk and his family to be respected during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with Phil Kirk, his family, and all those who hold him dear. Chesterfield's fans and community will likely come together to support the club and the owner's family. The club's operations will continue as usual, with the owner's vision and values guiding the team. Chesterfield Football Club will provide updates on the situation as necessary.
