An academy coach, Premier League stars and a roaring success in Brisbane - Here's what happened to the Chesterfield team who beat MK Dons in an FA Cup tie that never was

Spireites had to beat MK Dons twice to progress in the FA Cup ten years ago after an admin error.

Town defeated MK 1-0 at Stadium MK on December 6 2014 in a game which never actually counted.

That was because the FA ordered the tie to be replayed due to Chesterfield fielding an ineligible player.

The Spireites did not have written permission from Wolverhampton Wanderers to allow on-loan defender Georg Margreitter to appear in the match.

In the replayed game – which most likely would never have taken place these days and seen MK awarded the tie – played on 2 January 2015, Chesterfield also won 1-0.

Here we take a look at what happened to the players who started the original tie.
