Will Larter left this review about The Miners Arms
The footballer Joe Payne was born in an adjacent house (now demolished) in 1914. A plaque commemorating the striker, who died on 22nd April 1975, aged 61, is affixed to the outside of the pub. Payne was spotted playing for Bolsover Colliery by scouts of Luton Town, for whom he scored 10 goals in a 12-0 demolition of Bristol Rovers at Kenilworth Road, a record that still stands today – the most goals scored in a Football League match by a single player. The plaque, dated 2005, was unveiled by Geoff Thompson, the then president of the Football Association, on 13th April 2006, the 70th anniversary of Joe's achievement, attended by two of Joe's nephews.
