Dear County fans, Stopfordians, Barnsley supporters, and anyone else from The Football Family joining us today, a very warm welcome to your Sunday edition of The Scarf My Father Wore.

Your editor is 40 years young today! How on earth has that happened? I’m still not ready to grow up just yet, however, as you can see from the title of today’s article. Enjoy the photos, and we’ll have opinions from Oakwell in tomorrow’s edition.

Oh… and cheers Louie Barry for that belting early birthday present! I went f*****g berserk last night when that went in.

Today’s edition is sponsored by Not Just Travel and C J Motors Stockport. A big thank you to Paul and Tracy, and also to Connor.

Finally, I’m currently walking every street in Stockport to raise money for mental health charity Mentell. If you’d like to make a donation to help me reach my target, please click here.

Total distance so far: 176.31 miles

Total steps so far: 284,130

Total raised so far: £2,001

Total completed streets so far: 399 (Click here for the full list, which includes reports and photos from every day of the walk.)

They recognise that holidays are often the biggest outlay for people and so their top priority is finding them the perfect getaway. Whether you know exactly what you want or are looking for some ideas and inspiration, they can help!

With in excess of 450 suppliers they can find your dream trip.

Using Paul and Tracy as your personal travel consultants means that they can take all the legwork of finding and planning your trips.

There are so many variables to a trip and so many places to look most of their customers are so relieved to have someone do that for them! Others are just glad to be able to support a smaller business that delivers a personal touch, as opposed to some of the travel giants out there.

Make sure you get your car serviced before your next trip

Not everyone travels abroad these days for a holiday. Whether you’re taking your caravan to Cornwall, your motorhome to Margate, or simply packing up your Skoda for a few days in Skegness, make sure you’re on top of your servicing. Don’t be that family stuck on the hard shoulder with their hazard lights on!

Before you go away, get your vehicle booked in for a service with Connor at CJ Motors (opposite The Peel Centre) to avoid any additional stress on your holiday.

Visit cjmotorsuk.com for further details.

#15 – Paddy Madden, Chesterfield

Paddy Madden’s been injured since the start of this season, but he started his first game for Chesterfield yesterday… and scored! Our former talisman scored the Spireites’ second goal of the game, from the penalty spot, in their 3-0 win at Doncaster. Paul Cook’s men have started well since winning the National League last season; they’re one point off the play-offs.
