You could try using a normal spade but there's a good chance you'll break it, so you might as well spend £20 on a mattock

Don't put it through your foot, or put your back out, or you'll wish you just left the stump alone

Given you've got the holes already drilled, I'd burn it next.

need to
How come?

you will be able to dig that out without too much bother, albeit it will be moderately hard work.
you could do it with a spade only but that will add to the challenge. Spade plus an axe or a mattock by itself will make the job easier and less likely that you'll need to buy a new spade as part of the process.

I need to remove a stump from my front lawn; size 12 birkenstock for scale, I drilled a load of holes last spring to kill it off, which worked. Any tips for removal? I dont really want to buy a big axe becuase I know i'll never use it again.
